Cathedral City cheese maker investigates 'disturbing' footage from dairy farms
“It comes after YouTube documentary highlighted recurrent incidents of animal cruelty at two farms”
There should be ZERO tolerance for abuse of any kind.

or silent way, to celebrate.

In his article, @philip-ciwf.bsky.social explains how "even with its flaws, the UN is humanity’s best hope for tackling global crises through cooperation rather than chaos."

By safeguarding planetary stability, it also protects animals across the world.

IF WE DIDN’T HAVE THE UNITED NATIONS, HERE’S WHY WE’D HAVE TO INVENT IT CEO CIWF

"Food systems are at the heart of many of today’s crises. Factory farming, for example, drives animal suffering, wildlife declines, greenhouse gas emissions, and soil exhaustion. Yet, transforming food systems is where some of the most powerful solutions lie." - @philip-ciwf.bsky.social

On #WorldAnimalDay let us remember the sentient farm animals that are out of sight & out of mind
Hidden behind closed doors, they live a life of misery & cruelty, confined cages and barns
We are lucky to have animals in our lives yet we treat so many, so very badly. Shame on us

"Protecting our future, means farming in more nature-friendly, biodiversity-supporting ways, in harmony with nature and not against her" - Philip Lymbery.

Getting animals out of intensive farms & putting them back on the land as part of mixed, rotational farming can cut our reliance on chemical pesticides, helping to create a landscape that's full of life.

48 Organisations Endorse Policy Paper Telling UK Government to Promote Plant-Rich Diets in Food Strategy - vegconomist - the vegan business magazine A new policy paper has proposed ten measures the UK government could take to increase the consumption of plant-rich foods, with the aim of meeting the goals

We were proud to add our name to this - the UK Government needs to be doing more to promote plant-rich diets and help people eat more fruit, vegetables, pulses, legumes, nuts, seeds and wholegrains.

‘It’s dying in front of our eyes’: how the UK’s largest lake became an ecological disaster Signs tout a natural paradise, but pollution from over-farming has left Northern Ireland’s Lough Neagh choked by toxic algae

Toxic algal blooms are choking Lough Neagh in Northern Ireland.

The main cause? An overload of phosphorus & nitrogen from agriculture, including farm runoff, fertilisers and animal waste.

Yet another urgent reason to end intensive farming.

The case for caring about shrimp Killing two people is worse than killing one. What about 440 billion crustaceans?

We slaughter ~3.5 bn mammals a year & over 20 times as many birds. But what about fish & shellfish? The number is in the trillions. Animal welfare policy cannot neglect aquaculture. Cruel crustacean farming methods are an ethical issue, writes
