Increased awareness of animal welfare has brought new measures to protect it, such as the EU ban on import and sales of #cosmetics that have been tested on animals. Companies have to move to alternative methods. Read the cover story of the July issue of LCGC's The Column, to learn about an alternative to animal testing to evaluate the allergic reactivity of skin to chemical substances: https://buff.ly/44g1YkU

“It appears to show that our regulatory framework doesn’t respond to the worst instances of animal cruelty. How is it that thousands of sheep can be boiled alive and drowned in their own waste and no-one is held accountable? All the more reason to move forward with a transition out of the intrinsically harmful live export trade” - MP Josh Wilson https://lnkd.in/g5fi7fTg #animal #animals #liveexport #livetransport #StopLiveExport #animalcruelty #animalwelfare

There are some big things going on in animal welfare law right now that need our help. Like ASAP need us to reach out to our Senators and Representatives to urge them to vote on the side of animal protection. Gabriel Wildgen from The Humane League joined me in today’s episode to give us the low down. In this conversation, you’ll learn all about what’s happening (spurred by retaliation when California’s Prop 12 was passed in 2018 to help farm animals), and how to contact your Congresspeople quickly. Please share this as widely as you can. Like and comment so that we can reach more people quickly. The more time that passes, the more danger that we can’t stop it from happening. Thank you SO much. 😘 LISTEN, WATCH, or READ: https://lnkd.in/eTPHAbME LINK TO CONTACT: First paragraph in the show notes (link above) has a link to contact your specific CongressPeople

It's good to see partners like Farm Forward working to hold companies accountable. Results from a recent survey they conducted show that: "... findings reveal that a significant portion of American adults are concerned about where their food comes from (69% “very concerned” or “somewhat concerned”). Adults’ top concerns include companies misrepresenting their animal welfare practices (25%), overcharging consumers for products with misleading labels (25%), and engaging in inhumane animal welfare practices (19%). " Because of these very real concerns, FACT's website has a section for Consumers, which includes our Humane Food Labels guide - https://lnkd.in/gjrzbMHt Some labels can be trusted, others are less trustworthy. Working together with partners we can hold companies accountable, and give consumers the information you need in order to purchase food that you can believe in. #farmforward

🏷 What does our new survey on farm animal welfare say on information and labelling? That consumers want to know more, and want reliable information. 🥚 Just like it exists for eggs, 3 in 4 consumers would like information about how the animals were raised on products like meat and dairy, as they feel they do not know enough. ⚠ On the other hand, few of them trust companies’ claims on how well they care for animals. Industry should think twice before engaging in ‘animal welfare-washing’, as it can tarnish their brands’ reputation for a long time. More in our report: https://lnkd.in/e8kHjXZa #FarmAnimalWelfareEU
