"Avoiding ecological collapse is too big a responsibility to be outsourced to the invisible hand of the market,” warns our Head of EU @vincianebxl.bsky.social.
We must stop cruelly caging animals in factory farms that poison the soil, pollute the water, & harm communities.

Aquatic animals are often forgotten in animal welfare debates.
But as Professor Frank Tuyttens rightfully pointed out, fish are sentient and are worthy of welfare protection.
It’s time to #RethinkFish and ensure all aquatic animals are protected with species-specific legislation.

The EU must “raise the bar” for existing & future animal welfare rules, said MEP @emmawiesner.bsky.social, whilst calling for a response to the 1.4m citizens demanding to #EndtheCageAge & reward for the farmers already paving the way for a cage-free future. Falling short of that would be a failure.

To prevent that, we must shift to regenerative practices and make healthy, plant-rich diets the easy option.
