Most people guessed cows, chickens or pigs.

Very few guessed fish and crustaceans.

Yet billions are farmed every year, making them the most farmed animals on Earth. And now there's a push to farm octopuses too.

🐷 We're closer than ever to ending cages for mother pigs.

The UK and EU have both signalled change, but progress isn't guaranteed. Help us keep up the pressure and secure a future free from cages.

Pigs are seen in a barn, inside metal farrowing crates. Overlaid text reads: "Every £1 matched: Your donation today could go twice as far. A generous supporter is matching donations up to a total of £30,000!"

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.

🐔 @wagamama_uk says it wants to “tread softly” on the planet. The chickens it serves can barely tread at all.

After seven years of promises, Wagamama is still serving #Frankenchickens.

Tell them to keep their promise. #GoForSlow: https://bit.ly/4rtnLBK

A young bird sits on a bed of straw, surrounded by others in a dimly lit setting. The text "treading softly wagamama?" appears above it in bold letters.

Over the last few weeks, we've been at the @libdems.org.uk, @labouruk.bsky.social and @conservatives.bsky.social Party Conferences making sure farmed animals stay on the political agenda.

Now it's time for the Government to turn animal welfare promises into progress. 🐷🐔

This #WorldOctopusDay, join animal rights advocate Olivia Mandle & sign our petition to ban octopus farming.

Octopuses are intelligent animals capable of solving problems, & experiencing stress. Yet plans are underway to farm them in intensive systems. 🖊️ https://bit.ly/4hsdaE1

Can we talk about how many of the biggest problems in the world can all be linked to industrial farming?

@ciwf.org.ukOct 8, 2026, 12:00 PM

🐙 On #WorldOctopusDay, join @iolowilliams.bsky.social in calling for a ban on octopus farming.

These intelligent, sentient animals belong in the wild, not on farms.

Help us #KeepThemWild. Sign the petition: https://bit.ly/4hsdaE1

🚨 More than 150 experts, academics, farmers, food leaders and campaigners are warning that the UK is dangerously unprepared for food shortages and growing threats to our food system. Food security is national security. 🌾

A variety of fresh vegetables are displayed in green containers at a market. Above the produce, a quote from "The Independent," dated 5 October 2026, states: “The public has been led to assume food will simply be there. It may not be.”

European Commission, it’s time to End the Cage Age. It promised to deliver the first proposals to phase out cages for farmed animals this autumn. It must keep this commitment.

Animals have the power to change us. ❤️

In his latest article, our Global CEO, @philip-ciwf.bsky.social, reflects on the lessons animals can teach us about empathy, compassion and our responsibility to create a kinder world for all living beings.

🐔 If you eat chicken, where you eat matters.

Some companies are switching to healthier, slower-growing breeds. Others are still serving #Frankenchickens.

Use your spending power. #GoForSlow

The pork industry calls it efficient. Animal welfare experts call it unacceptable.

Millions of pigs are still slaughtered using CO₂ gas each year. The Government promised a consultation. It's time to deliver. 🐷

🐄 "These journeys are breaking animal welfare laws. They can't continue."

Last week, Peter Stevenson spoke to @rteradio1.bsky.social about our legal notice to Irish Ferries over its transport of unweaned calves from Ireland to France. #BanLiveExports

Cows peering through the bars of a transport vehicle. A quote is overlaid: "You have to face the fact that these journeys, according to the EU Commission, are breaking animal welfare laws. They can't continue with this." The quote is attributed to Peter Stevenson, Compassion's Chief Political Adviser. The RTÉ Radio 1 logo is visible.

Dog? Cat?

Nope. It was pig. 🐷

This #WorldAnimalDay, we're challenging perceptions of farmed animals and calling for a kinder future for pigs.

🐷 After decades of campaigning, we're closer than ever to ending cages for farmed animals. The UK Gov has committed to consulting on phasing out farrowing crates, but consultation isn't a ban. Help the fight to end factory farming. Donations will be matched up to £30,000: https://bit.ly/4iMvsRs

Four cities. One message.

Irish Ferries must stop transporting vulnerable calves on long journeys from Ireland to France.
