Compassion in World Farming EU

@ciwf.eu

We campaign for stronger EU laws on farmed animal welfare & ethical, sustainable EU food policy. #EndTheCageAge #EndIt #BanLiveExports #RethinkFish

@ciwf.eu

Today we were outside the @ec.europa.eu 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 ⏰https://www.endthecageage.eu/en/it-s-time-to-end-the-cage-age/

@ciwf.eu

What empties our oceans, starves local communities in the Global South, and traps migratory fish in underwater cages?

Today we'll reveal the true impacts, and the hidden costs, of carnivorous aquaculture.
#OceanWeek

@ciwf.eu

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.

@ciwf.eu

No taxpayers' money for keeping ducks & geese in cages during the brutal force-feeding stage on foie gras farms.

#AGRIFISH ministers must deliver a #CAP that supports farmers in a just transition - not one that locks animals in cages & society in a climate doom loop.

@ciwf.eu

🧑‍⚖️Today, we issued a formal legal notice to Irish Ferries. We want to know why the company is transporting unweaned calves on its ships – when it is aware that this breaches EU law, as these vulnerable animals go unfed at the legally required times. Get involved 👇🔗

@ciwf.eu

Around 32 million ducks & geese are farmed for foie gras in the EU.

This brutal force-feeding practice must end along with their cruel confinement in cages.

The @ec.europa.eu has committed to #EndTheCageAge by the end of the year.

It must keep its promise🦆

🔎 NEW: 71% of farmers surveyed said going cage-free would have a positive impact on their wellbeing.

⏰ @ec.europa.eu has 10 days. Farmers agree it’s time to #EndTheCageAge ➡️https://www.ciwf.eu/media-and-news/press-releases/82-of-farmers-support-caged-farming-ban-as-eu-faces-deadline-to-act/

@ciwf.eu

There is no doubt: the future is cage-free for all animals.

Today, President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu shared her plans for the future of the #EU.

Rules to uncage hens & pigs are coming, but that's not enough. They must be ambitious and make sure no animal is subjected to life in a cage.

@ciwf.eu

Too many animals suffer in cages each year. Farmers struggle to make ends meet amid climate breakdowns. Citizens want change. Tomorrow, tune in to hear what Commissioner @christophehansen.bsky.social thinks of the future of animal farming. 🔗https://www.animalwelfareintergroup.eu/calendar

@ciwf.eu

1.4 million citizens called for an end to cages.

Today, we delivered an open letter backed by 280+ signatures from academics, industry stakeholders, farmers, veterinarians, lawyers, consumer & animal welfare organisations.

@ec.europa.eu, keep your promise. #EndTheCageAge
