AB 3162 passed the Assembly Committee on Water, Parks, and Wildlife with a vote of 13-1! Assemblymember Laurie Davies R-Laguna Niguel was the one "No" vote! Did you know that companies operating in Spain and Hawaii are trying to figure out how to farm octopus? AB 3162, authored by Assemblymember Assemblymember Steve Bennett (D-Santa Barbara) and cosponsored by Social Compassion in Legislation and Animal Legal Defense Fund, will preemptively ban this barbaric practice in California and prohibit the sale of imported farmed octopus. Due to their complex mental abilities, octopuses have significant enrichment needs that cannot be met in farming environments. Intensively confining these highly intelligent, solitary animals in unnatural farming conditions increases the likelihood of stress, aggressive activity, and mortality. Such cruelty should have no place in California. The bill will be heard by the Assembly Appropriations Committee. #animalrights #octopus #marinelife #AnimalSentience #InhumaneTreatment #seaworld #CALeg #myoctopusteacher

Pressure is mounting for UK Politican Michael Gove to stop the construction of the UK’s first fully on-land salmon farm. We join Animal Equality's call for an environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the project. Government guidance states that an EIA should be conducted if a farm plans to produce more than 100 tonnes of fish a year - yet AquaCultured Seafood Ltd development is aiming to produce 50 times this limit. Animal Equality's ED Abigail Penny says: "Given the abundant uncertainties and obvious risks, it is scandalous that the committee has allowed the application to get this far, let alone to have given it the green light. The lack of diligence on display is disturbing. The government must step in and stop this from going any further."

 🌟 Reflecting on an Insightful Afternoon with Professor Peter Singer 🌟 Last Friday, I had the privilege of attending a talk by the renowned ethicist, Professor Peter Singer. His insights have over years profoundly influenced my understanding of ethical living and animal welfare. Professor Singer presented a compelling argument that suffering matters universally—regardless of an individual's ability to reason or talk. This idea underscores the importance of extending empathy to all beings that can feel pain. He explored the history of speciesism, highlighting the stark contrast between practices like bullfighting, which many condemn, and the harsh realities of chicken factory farms, which receive far less scrutiny. This comparison was a potent reminder of the inconsistencies in how we treat different species. One personal takeaway for me is the importance of the language we use when talking about animals. I am committed to using "who" instead of "that" or "which," reinforcing their status as sentient beings, not mere objects. The talk was not just educational but a call to action, inspiring us to use our influence and resources to create a more ethical world. #AnimalWelfare #PeterSinger #Speciesism #Impact

It’s high time to stop ignoring the damage humanity is causing to the planet & start making choices that truly support a sustainable & ethical world. There are viable options for change: embracing veganism to reduce the environmental impact of animal agriculture & advocating for animal rights, both in farming & in the wild, to protect & preserve the planet’s environmental biodiversity. The stakes are too high for complacency. #GoVegan. 💚🌱🐾
