Some of the biggest climate conversations happen everywhere except around food. This needs to change.

“As children, we were given a beautiful image of farming. As adults, surely we deserve the whole picture.” The farms we imagine aren’t always the reality. @philip_ciwf explores the truth behind “fantasy farming” and why it’s time for greater honesty. 👇 bit.ly/4A1GpE6

When a duckling or gosling is born, they will imprint onto the first moving thing they see, hopefully their mother, and then follow them everywhere. If they see a human first, they’ll imprint onto...

Most people are shocked to learn that a mother pig can spend up to 35 days in a farrowing crate around giving birth. No turning around. No nest building. No freedom to mother naturally. Think that's unacceptable? 📧 Send an email to the Government: bit.ly/3VIH9zc
The image shows the text "35 days" in large, bold orange letters against a dark background. Below the text, there is a small logo with a cage design and the words "End the Cage Age."

🐷 The science has been clear for decades. On the @LawDisorderShow podcast, @philip_ciwf explains how scientists raised concerns about CO₂ slaughter as far back as the 1990s. Yet millions of pigs are still killed this way. It’s time for change: bit.ly/3W1vfAC

🐖 Before giving birth, a mother pig's instinct is to build a nest. But most indoor mother pigs in Britain are confined in farrowing crates so small they can't even turn around. Tell the Government it's time to #EndTheCageAge: bit.ly/3VIH9zc
Two scenes are depicted: The top shows pigs in a straw-filled nest. The bottom image shows pigs in a restrictive metal enclosure. Text reads, "Mother pigs build nests for their babies. Farrowing crates make that impossible." The "End the Cage Age" logo is present.

Animals in factory farms are fed grains - this system wastes food & land while also causing immense suffering. We need to move towards a more plant-rich food system that prioritises feeding people, not factory farms. #FoodNotFeed #WorldVeganDay

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."
