📰🚨 The number of UK dairy farms keeping cows indoors year-round has more than doubled since 2015. As costs rise and milk prices stay low, farmers are being pushed towards industrial-scale production.

🦦 Sadly, many otter species are under threat due to the illegal wildlife trade. Life in captivity is no substitute for the wild. Help make a difference: don't share social videos of pet otters and avoid cruel venues such as otter cafes. #WorldOtterDay

Feather dresses may appear glamourous, but when the feathers come from wild birds, it’s just cruel. Most decorative feathers used in fashion come from ostriches bred on farms, where they are confined in barren conditions and denied the opportunity to express natural behaviours.

Good news! Norway plans to phase out fast-growing chicken breeds by 2027. These so called “frankenchickens” struggle to support their own bodyweight and suffer from very painful conditions. We urge the UK government to follow Norway’s example and urgently ban these breeds too.

We’re delighted the fur ban has entered Polish law 👏 The fur industry is cruel and outdated, confining millions of wild animals in tiny cages for an unnecessary product. Sadly, it remains legal in other countries, which export and sell fur products into the UK.
