#FactoryFarming

This is how #FactoryFarming starts. First, they figure out how to breed animals in captivity, then they scale up to mass production, locking intelligent, sentient creatures into a life of suffering for profit.

#GrupoProfand claims this is about “sustainability”—that farming octopuses will ease pressure on wild populations. But octopuses aren’t livestock. They’re sentient, intelligent creatures who use tools, solve puzzles, and even dream.

A new #FactoryFarming nightmare is unfolding—#seafood giant #GrupoProfand just got the green light to experiment on baby octopuses in #Spain.

Their goal? Cracking the code on captive breeding to pave the way for the world’s first #OctopusFarm.

This new lab will experiment on baby #octopuses by manipulating their larval development—a critical hurdle that has prevented octopus farming from scaling up. 🐙

“Your chicken is killing our rivers”: British icons take on Nando’s over supply chain

A group of high-profile figures—including celebrities, musicians, comedians, and campaigners such as Paul Whitehouse, Jo Brand, Joanna Lumley, Chris Packham, Liz Bonnin, George Monbiot, Johnny Flynn, Dominic West, Jim Murray, and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall—have united to pressure Nando’s to take responsibility for its environmental impact. They are calling on the restaurant giant to clean up its supply chain and tackle its contribution to severe river pollution.

What The Label DOESN'T Tell You About YOUR FOOD

Shockingly, there is no legal requirement to show how animals were raised. Almost all meat bought in supermarkets in the UK is factory farmed with the animals kept in appalling conditions.

Without compulsory method of production labelling, the packaging of factory farmed meat and dairy products will continue to mislead shoppers, undermining consumer choice and preventing higher-welfare farmers from differentiating their products.

Factory Farms Cost UK Taxpayers Over 1.2 Billion Pounds Per Year, Says New Report

The report estimates that 85 percent of #FarmingSubsidies for chicken and pig farmers are absorbed by #FactoryFarms, which is around £269 million per year.

#FactoryFarming is linked to extensive environmental #pollution and related #PublicHealth issues. The report estimates the cost of #water and #air pollution from factory farms to be £518 million, while the cost of increased respiratory deaths is around £92 million.

Sentience InstituteUS Factory Farming EstimatesHow many animals are factory farmed? We estimate that 99% of US farmed animals are living in factory farms at present. By species, we estimate that 74.9% of cows, 98.6% of pigs, 99.8% of turkeys, 98.3% of chickens raised for eggs, and over 99.9% of chickens raised for meat are living in factory farms. Based on the confinement and living conditions of farmed fish, we estimate that virtually all US fish farms are suitably described as factory farms, though there is limited data on fish farm conditions and no standardized definition. Land animal figures use data from the USDA Census of Agriculture and EPA definitions of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations.

I am an Octopus (Narrated by Peter Egan)

I am an octopus trapped in a tiny tank,
Crowded prison cells, which they call farms.
It’s dark, dirty and deadly,
I can’t stretch my eight arms.

I am an octopus trapped in a tiny tank.
No solitude or peace, I weep and shake,
So a greedy two-armed man can take cash to the bank.
I don’t yet know how to get out and dream of escape…

I am an octopus who is free to roam the salty seas.
With eight arms I jet along the ocean floor.
I crawl, I climb and through rocks I squeeze,
To forage for food and explore.

When I feel sleepy or want to hide away,
I build a den using shells from scallops and clams.
When I see a shark, I fear I’ll become prey,
So my skin goes lumpy, bumpy, and changes color.

My home, the ocean, is dying.
Men steal fishes from the sea to feed us.
They say breeding us will save the planet, but they are lying.
The octopus farms cause me and the ocean so much harm.

The two-armed man artificially impregnates the females.
Then he prods and stabs us to find out how best to kill us.
Big business is trying to play God,
But Mother Nature strikes back with climate chaos.

I am an octopus but I am like you.
On the surface we may look very different -
Your blood is red and mine is blue,
You have one brain and I have nine.

Don’t eat my brainy arms,
They think and feel and are not for you to chew!
Drop your knife and raise your placards,
And shout out ‘NO, to octopus farms!’

Make your one heart big,
Listen to my one, two, three hearts beat.
The free rhythms of this short song called life
Ring-a-ding-ding ring–a-ding-ding, be my octopus defender!

Swimming in the ocean I feel so alive,
Now planet Earth can bustle and thrive.
Dive deep and show compassion,
Link your arms in octopus fashion,

And sign the Plant Based Treaty!

They wander through the ocean and seas,
To undo the damage we have done.
So let’s eat plants and plant trees,
And preach that all life is one,

And that when humans wish to harm other animals, they really do evil to themselves.

Compassion in World Farming's new undercover investigation, released 4th November, exposes the immense suffering of around 70 million rabbits still caged on farms across Europe and reinforces the urgent need for the European Commission to deliver its promised #CageBan.

Anthony Field, Head of our UK Office, said: “This investigation clearly shows the systemic cruelty of caged farming across Europe. This is not about a couple of bad farms mistreating animals in certain countries, this is representative of caged rabbit farming throughout the EU in the absence of species-specific requirements for the welfare of farmed rabbits in EU law.

“Cages simply cannot meet the physiological and behavioural needs of farmed animals, and their use is unnecessary.."
