Reason 3 to end factory farming: ~70% of antibiotics are given to farmed animals. The more antibiotics used, the greater the risk that bacteria become resistant to them. When antibiotics stop working, infections become harder to treat, putting animal & human health at risk.

🐔 @wagamama_uk has broken its seven-year promise to stop serving #Frankenchickens. Ironically, “wagamama” can mean “selfish” in Japanese. Breaking a promise to give chickens better lives? Wagamama indeed. 🐔 #GoForSlow: bit.ly/3UZFAwq
The image has a black background with the title "Word of the Day" at the top. Below, the word "wagamama" is written with a phonetic guide "wa.ga.ma.ma." Red stars precede the definitions: "selfish," "egoist," "self-indulgent," and "wilful."

KFC probably won’t advertise this. So we did. 👀 We took our message around Woking, home to KFC UK’s HQ, to expose the reality of fast-growing chickens and its broken welfare promise. Tell @KFC_UKI to #GoForSlow 🐔 bit.ly/3T5WWqx

🎃Today our ad van took over the streets of Woking, home to KFC HQ. @KFC_UKI promised to improve chicken welfare by moving to healthier, slower-growing chickens. Now it's walked away from that commitment. 🐔 Contact KFC: bit.ly/3T5WWqx #GoForSlow
KFC stop the horror show. An ad van with posters showing KFC have backtracked on chicken welfare drives past a KFC restaurant.

The most terrifying movie posters. 👻 BUT the real horrors aren’t in the movies. 🐷
The image is a book cover titled "The Cage." It features a red chicken in the bottom right corner, partially behind a chain-link fence. The background is a gradient from white to black with a textured appearance. The subtitle reads "A Nightmare of Horror.

Did you know many people don't realise hens naturally enjoy dust bathing, foraging and exploring? When animals can't perform their natural behaviours, they suffer.

Wagamama says it's “sustainable + ethical”. But after seven years of promises, it's still serving #Frankenchickens. A truly sustainable food system can't ignore animal welfare. #GoForSlow 🐔👇 bit.ly/3UZFAwq
Two chicks are standing on the ground, with one chick lying down in front of them. Above the chicks, the text reads, "sustainable + ethical wagamama?"

The EU's Vision 2040 featured low-trophic aquaculture & animal welfare. But it still supports growth in carnivorous fish farming, fails to tackle reliance on wild-caught fish feed, & offers no commitment to welfare legislation for farmed aquatic animals. 🔗ciwf.org/media-and-news/late…

Something that really sends us is how often compassion for animals gets framed as unrealistic when it should be the bare minimum.

🚨 Britain's abattoirs are disappearing. If animals are farmed for food, they should be raised & slaughtered close to where they're born. But as local facilities close, animals can face longer journeys before slaughter. We've signed an open letter 🔗 bit.ly/4ytyoGO
A group of cows looking through the bars of a transport vehicle. The text above reads, "Over 90% of Britain's abattoirs have disappeared and animals are facing longer journeys."

🐔 GOOD NEWS: Plans to expand a factory farm in Norfolk have been withdrawn. A huge thank you to everyone who spoke up against the proposal. This result shows the power of communities standing up to factory farming. 💚
A group of white chickens huddled together. The image includes the headline: "Factory farm expansion plans pulled after public opposition." The word "breaking" appears multiple times in green at the top.
