The third and final day of the @ufaw.bsky.social International Animal Welfare Conference #UFAW2025 is just about to begin. Fascinating presentations on the programme. Looking forward to another day of learning and networking!

Le collectif d’habitants « Autour de Marguerite » organise une collecte de fonds afin d’installer des gîtes pour les chauves-souris dans l’espace public ainsi que chez des particuliers.
The residents' collective “Autour de Marguerite” is organising a fundraiser to install bat shelters in public spaces and at private homes. Despite their sometimes negative reputation, bats are harmless and play a vital ecological role by consuming large numbers of insects such as mosquitoes.
It may be shocking to hear, but #Veterinarians are not experts in #AnimalWelfare without further education.
We would be even more excited if the Conference would also focus on *food* and the demand side, not just the agri-food sector - reflecting a true #FoodSystems approach ... 🤗
...and if it were possible to follow #EUAgriVision on #Bluesky and not just X (but for this, you can count on us! 😉)
@ec.europa.eu's project finds viable alternatives to high-concentration #CO₂ #stunning of #pigs. Now is the time to announce a legal phase-out of this outdated stunning method.

Excellent idea, Jo! Wonderful pictures and creatures.
oh no!
Massive encroachment by Bezos into The Washington Post’s opinion section - makes clear dissenting views will not be published
I still have not felt encroachment on my journalism on the news side, but if Bezos tries interfering with the news side I will be quitting immediately and letting you know
FYI @cameronbarr.bsky.social is a man of ethics and quality and innovation. The kind Bezos is repelling now.
As avian influenza has led to egg shortages and record wholesale prices, the nation’s biggest egg producer has seen rising revenues and profits. Now some Democrats are calling for an investigation into pricing practices in the industry.

Right now, a #PublicConsultation is happening that will influence public procurement in the EU.
Why is this a big opportunity for #AnimalWelfare?
Trump is an enemy of us all.
Europe needs to unite - and the UK needs to rejoin the EU.
If you want to see that happen… join European Movement UK right now. We’re driving this. ✊
‼️ Our NEW report reveals #AnimalWelfare issues are treated very differently by each of the 🇪🇺’s 27 Member States.
With only vague and outdated laws to guide them, several countries are interpreting or setting the rules as they see fit.
Some key stats ⬇️🧵

🐖Our 2024 @beuc.eu survey on consumer attitudes on animal welfare showed that a very strong majority (9 in 10 consumers) want new laws to improve #animalwelfare including a ban on such mutilations 👇

Last week, the National Federation of Italian Veterinarians published a position paper against #furfarming where they recommended "the extension of national bans to the entire European Union & the prohibition of the trade and import of fur products from third countries'' 👏

Last week @europarl.europa.eu AGRI lawmakers called some researchers “ideological” for telling them the inconvenient truth about the #CAP, will they call the Joint Research Centre the same for pointing to the need to transform #FoodEnvironments and #PutChangeOnTheMenu? 👇
New joint publication by the @efsa.europa.eu and European Centre for Disease Control (ECDC) on the current #riks posed by #avianflu #birdflu #H5N1 to human and animal health. Take heed...

"The future of #food production is evolving, and veterinarians must be at the forefront of this change. We can't afford to watch from the sidelines as others define our role in or even omit us from this emerging field." #veterinarians #advocacy #cellularagriculture
