European Commission, it’s time to #EndTheCageAge. It promised to deliver the first proposals to phase out cages for farmed animals this autumn. It must keep this commitment. Tell the Commission it’s time to deliver: bit.ly/4xP8htr

There is no species-specific legislation to protect farmed fish from suffering. This needs to change. 🐟 Help us protect them by calling on the @EU_Commission to #RethinkFish. ➡️ bit.ly/4yG68Rp

The EU's Vision 2040 featured low-trophic aquaculture and animal welfare. But it supports growth in carnivorous fish farming, fails to tackle reliance on wild-caught fish feed, and offers no commitment to welfare legislation for farmed aquatic animals. l1nq.com/lczfs3a

2 weeks ago, we sent @Irish_Ferries a legal notice with @fourpawsint & @Welfarm, raising concerns that EU law is being breached on its ships. Its response is not good enough. The calves on board should be fed - but this basic need is not being met. ✍️Take action action.ciwf.org.uk/page/1723…..

Today, we join our friends at @Act4AnimalsEU to tell the @EU_Commission that it's time ⏳ To #EndtheCageAge for all farmed animals. And to better protect them by modernising rules that are up to 20 years old. Our eyes are on the 2027 work programme.

It's #GlobalFertilizerDay. Chemical fertilisers can fuel emissions, poison water & degrade soils - and are linked to illnesses. An alternative is possible. Agroecology regenerates soil, support farmers & feeds communities. 🔎Find out more ciwf.org/our-work/our-work-w…

Octopuses sense light with their whole body & taste the world as they touch it. Yet there are few laws to protect them from factory farms. We’re racing to stop this cruel, unsustainable industry in its tracks. ️✍️ Help protect octopuses from farms: bit.ly/471yPwV

Irish Ferries are the only company still transporting live farmed animals from Ireland to France, and they must stop. Act now: bit.ly/4vnxkUx #BanLiveExports

Today we were outside the @EU_Commission to represent the demands of 1.4m citizens, 170 NGOs, and 82% of surveyed farmers. Our message was simple: enough delays. It's time to #EndtheCageAge Tell the Commission you’re tired of waiting ⏰endthecageage.eu/en/it-s-tim…

Carnivorous aquaculture eats up the ocean & threatens food security – its expansion must be stopped. That's the clear conclusion we reached today with @wearefoodrise as we gathered policymakers & experts in the @Europarl_EN to reveal the true impacts of farming carnivorous fish.

But there is another way: 🔵prioritise low‑trophic species which require little or no feed 🔵introducing rules to protect the welfare of farmed aquatic animals 🔵preventing the further expansion of carnivorous aquaculture.

Millions of fish are caught each year to feed carnivorous species farmed in underwater cages. This is bad for animals, marine ecosystems, & the people relying on them for food & livelihoods. Tomorrow, we'll dive into the negative impact of carnivorous aquaculture. #OceanWeek
