England – Pester pig is on a campaign to stop intensive farming. Now at the laundry throwing red socks in with a white clothes wash.
Tell high street chains to support high welfare farms!
In the UK, Greggs has made a fortune from their vegan sausage roll, but Pester Pig insists their ethics remain questionable until they source all their pork from high welfare farms.
Vegans and meat eaters alike want to end factory farming, a system that tortures animals, poisons the environment and increases the risk of resistant diseases. Don’t buy from Greggs, or Pester Pig might come for your laundry! Share the video & sign the petition.
Tell Greggs to stop supporting factory farming!
Sign this letter asking the CEOs of Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Greggs and Domino’s to only source high welfare pork.
Sign the petition to all the main UK supermarket COE’s asking them to STOP supporting factory farming and instead to cruelty free systems;
sign the petition via this link:
Most High Street Chains Source their Pork from Factory Farms
Three-quarters of the 60 high street supermarkets & food chains surveyed by Farms Not Factories sell pork from factory farms. The vast majority of these don’t offer a single high welfare alternative. Pigs reared in factory farms (an intensive farming system that is permitted under the Red Tractor labelling scheme) have to endure permanent indoor confinement in barren, overcrowded pens for their entire lives. Mother pigs are kept in narrow metal cages so small they cannot even turn around for weeks on end.
The Solution
RSPCA Assured, Free Range and Organic all have significantly better standards than the Red Tractor labelling scheme and minimum UK & EU standards. Some well known high street chains have already made the switch to one of these high welfare labels. For example, McDonald’s only sell RSPCA Assured pork across their entire menu and the Co-op only sells Outdoor Bred RSPCA Assured pork throughout their entire own-brand fresh pork range. Pigs on high welfare farms, either outdoors or indoors with plenty of straw, are healthy and more contented. They have enough room to roam and express natural instinctive behaviours such as rooting, nesting and playing.

In Defense of Animals
Tell Congress to End Factory Farming in the United States!
An extraordinary bill to phase out horrifically cruel concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) has been introduced to the U.S. Senate.
There are approximately 15,500 CAFOs in the country that imprison billions of birds, pigs, and cows in harrowing conditions. We must work together to end this national disgrace!
CAFOs crowd animals into dirty warehouses or tiny cages where they have little room to move and are forced to live in their own waste. They quickly become ill and are pumped with drugs and antibiotics to survive and grow until their pre-destined slaughter. Senator Cory Booker’s groundbreaking bill called the Farm System Reform Act, would stop existing CAFOs from expanding, prevent the construction of new ones, and phase them out by 2040.
The Farm System Reform Act will also provide financial assistance to farmers who are transitioning away from CAFOs, and establish that CAFOs’ corporate owners are held legally responsible for the environmental destruction they cause.
CAFOs produce enormous quantities of waste that pollutes neighboring communities’ air and water. According to the John Hopkins Center for a Livable Future, these waste products can cause “respiratory disease, mental health problems, and… infections” in local communities that are unfortunate enough to host them.
Please join us in urging your two federal senators to sponsor this critical legislation!

Joaquin Phoenix joined Animal Equality on Tower Bridge in London this morning, in advance of the 73rd BAFTA ceremony, to draw attention to the link between animal agriculture and the climate emergency.
Phoenix and other activists dropped a 390 square-foot banner that read ‘Factory farming is destroying our planet. Go vegan’ from the iconic landmark, as a plea to the public to stop eating animal products.
Joaquin said “I think we have a personal responsibility to take action right now and one way that we can mitigate climate change is by adjusting our consumption and by going plant-based. And so I feel sometimes like it’s not being talked about enough. So I’m just encouraging people to learn more about eating plant-based and to make a difference to make whatever personal impact they can on the climate emergency.”
He added: “When you witness the horror that really happens behind closed doors and slaughterhouses to farm animals all over the world, it’s impossible not to be affected by it and to realise that we have to do something drastic to stop it. So I’m just doing my part and trying to amplify the voice of these activists that out every day, doing something, taking action, and the least I can do is take some time off today and come here to talk about this issue.”
Throughout the action, Joaquin and other Animal Equality activists held placards showing the suffering of animals in factory farms, as well as the devastating impacts of animal agriculture on the environment and climate.
President of Animal Equality, Sharon Núñez, said: “Joaquin’s dedication to animals and the environmental cause is extraordinary, he sees the absolute need for us to have serious conversations around the devastation that factory farming is having on animals, our planet, and our health.”
Factory farming is a major contributor to water and air pollution as well as deforestation. Animal agriculture accounts for 14.5% of greenhouse emissions, according to The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the UN. As well as being a leading cause of climate change, animal farming is a major contributor to water and air pollution, deforestation, species extinction, and more. A vegan diet is one of the best ways to reduce our impact on the planet – by changing what we eat, we can change the course of our future.
Find out more about the devastating impacts animal agriculture has on animals and our planet here.

An exclusive Glass Walls investigation inside Israel’s largest pig factory
“You took the pictures which – from your perspective – are the “sexiest” and “most painful” to watch and this is what you show”, says the manager of the horror slaughterhouse!
The factories that produce most of the meat that ends up on our plate, go to great lengths to keep their “business” secret.
And we make it them easy.
Most believe in happy cows that graze in the pasture with their calves, they believe that the neighbors’ pigs lose their miserable lives with a “humane” slaughter, we make it really easy for the meat mafia and therefore it can do undisturbed its criminal business with live animals
It is our participation, our approval wich does it possible.
No! this is not a private perspective, it is about making money, maximizing profit with torture, sadism, murder in accord.
And that is everyday life in slaughterhouses all over the world.
In some places worse, in some places it is better but that does not change the fact that all slaughterhouses in the world are places of horror.
Wherever the documents of this cruelty are sent to us, we will never tire of showing them.
Everyone needs to know who are the victims of this fascist system.
My best regards to all, Venus

WAV Comment – So now the government are suddenly going to change their goalposts again. Big talk from the new Minister; who is known to most as ‘Useless Eustace’; about how effective the cull has been; but the reality is that the government has murdered thousands of animals for very little gain – and now they know that the British public hate them for what they are doing, suddenly, out of the hat; that no can do ‘vaccination’, which welfare groups have been calling for over many years; suddenly appears on the doorstep and is going to be introduced. Once again; the government (Conservatives) have now been pushed into a corner and have no way of getting out – other than to do what was asked years ago; and for which they said ‘never’.
Funny how things change when you get no results of your mass killings; and the public turns against you – that is the Conservatives and Mr Useless.
Badger culling to tackle TB in livestock to be phased out
The government also has plans to vaccinate more badgers, which can transmit TB to livestock.
Intensive badger culling to tackle TB in livestock will be gradually phased out and a cattle vaccine for the disease will be deployed, the government has announced.
The next phase of the government’s strategy to tackle bovine tuberculosis in cattle will involve field trials of a cattle vaccine – expected to be deployed within the next five years.
There are also plans vaccinate more badgers – which can transmit TB to livestock – against the disease as well as a “gradual phasing out of intensive culling” of the wild animals, the Environment Department (Defra) said.
Badger culling in the UK is currently permitted under licence within a set area and timescale in a bid to reduce badger numbers to control the spread of bovine TB, which devastates with the beef and dairy industries.
The disease affects cattle and other farm animals including pigs, goats and sheep, as well as some species of wildlife including deer and a few domestic pets.
Badger culling, using “free shooting”, was trialled in two pilot areas in west Gloucestershire and west Somerset in 2013 with the aim of assessing its humaneness.
Despite wildlife and animal welfare groups arguing that culling is inhumane and ineffective, the badger cull has been rolled out to 40 areas of England.
The government said culling has led to a decline in TB cases in herds of 66% and 37% over the first four years in Gloucestershire and Somerset.
But its new strategy intends to phase out the intensive culling policy and replace it with badger vaccination schemes supported by the government.
Culling would remain an option where disease assessment indicated it was needed.
The move has been made possible by a breakthrough by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (Apha), allowing for field trials of a cattle vaccine to be deployed within a few years.
Environment Secretary George Eustice said: “The badger cull has led to a significant reduction in the disease as demonstrated by recent academic research and past studies.
“But no-one wants to continue the cull of this protected species indefinitely so, once the weight of disease in wildlife has been addressed, we will accelerate other elements of our strategy, including improved diagnostics and cattle vaccination to sustain the downward trajectory of the disease.”
UK Chief Veterinary Officer Christine Middlemiss added: “Whilst there is no single way to combat this damaging and complex disease, cattle vaccination will be a new tool for our multi-pronged approach to tackle it and, importantly, prevent it, providing vital support to our farming communities.”
The government also has plans to improve the cattle testing regime to intercept the disease earlier and remove it from herds more quickly.
Previous culling methods included trapping badgers in cages before shooting them.
