So. A vegetarian is being an expert on this.
If you're not eating the product. Why would we care?
Be like a straight person advocating a ban on gay marriage. Would it not?

They don't have to when its free. And will recieve copious amounts of government funding year to year to run it.
Shocker.

Ahem 😮💨 CBAM
Cutting fertiliser tax my arse.
How to tell us you know nothing of your JD without telling us you know nothing of your JD.
Or just desperately covering up a massive walloping let down that was #budget26
Wheeled out to defend the indefensible as predicted 🙄
No proposed alternative from CIWF. Presumably so they can object to whatever come next. And whatever comes after that.
The industry moved to CO2 largely under pressure similar to this.
PIGS URGENTLY NEED YOU 🐷 Head to the link to submit your response to the UK consultation on ending CO2 pig slaughter. It takes 2 minutes.
You have until 21 December.

The number of "sanctuaries" appealing for carved pumpkins in insane.
I hope there is some snap inspection work going on.
These people are going to be the centre of an ASF outbreak.
It’s nearly #Halloween! #Pumpkins can only be fed to livestock, including #Pigs, if they have NEVER entered a kitchen and the carving utensils have never been in contact with products of animal origin. This helps to prevent diseases like #Africanswinefever gov.uk/guidance/african-swin…
Utterly despicable.
God help you if you're a farmer who falls under a urban forces area.
🚨 A sheep farmer has been left facing losses of about £23,000 after 53 lambs were killed and another 14 seriously injured in a dog attack in Wigan.
Steven Blacklidge said he was 'horrified' after being told police would not authorise further enquiries, citing insufficient evidence and budget pressures, despite new livestock worrying laws coming into force earlier this year.
Greater Manchester Police has since confirmed an investigation is underway and said it is taking the incident 'incredibly seriously'.

One of the most bizarre comments I've ever read from an alleged 'nature-friendly account.
"It does no one any good and just encourages hedgehog lovers to hate and be afraid of badgers."
Guess what, nature actually depends on everything eating something. If that causes someone to 'hate' it, they should leave conservation and nature topics the f*ck alone and go back to reading Wind in the Willows.
Also, hedgehogs aren't people - just because they eat one, doesn't mean they'll eat the other. 🙄JFC

This is the way the world ends. Take heed.
If you’re visiting anywhere that keeps farm animals this half term, please don’t feed them your left-over food waste. It’s illegal and can spread deadly diseases like #AfricanSwineFever and #FootAndMouthDisease. Please use the bins provided.

I am not the biggest fan of CO2 stunning. But consider it insane that this is having public money spent on it because of Waitrose man and woman groups like CIWF.
Instead of non-stun slaughter.
Although if we ban CO2 stunning here we would ban all such imports... right?

Gov direction (and the mouthpieces they implore) is getting quite frankly ridiculous for farmers
Do we want “tidy farms” to pass Red tractor tests, or do we want unkempt farms to do its thing for nature and habitats?
What other sector has to work with such moving goalposts?
What did I say....
Ironic from a man who uses abuse out of the gate and is so clearly very angry.
Perhaps a scalp massage would help?
This is where there are none. Anywhere. On any farm. At all. All dead.
My first thought was.
Who?
🗣️ "You cannot run national food security on a digital lottery..."
@LibDems MP @timfarron has delivered a passionate speech in the House of Commons, taking aim at both the Conservatives and Labour over their handling of British farming support.
He criticised the Conservatives over the phase-out of the BPS and the design of SFI, while accusing Labour of failing to address the problems, culminating in the latest funding window closing in under six hours. ❌
The LibDems are now calling for guaranteed funding for eligible farmers who missed out on SFI, alongside an additional £1 billion a year for environmental land management schemes.

Says one of the organisations responsible for closures.
Pick a lane.
🚨 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.
