🐖 Big news from Denmark: a new Ministry of Nature & Animal Welfare, taking on much of the work of the former ministers for food and agriculture.
🚔 #AnimalWelfare enforcement moves to the Justice Ministry.
🤞Let's hope it leads to strong commitments for animals in the EU institutions, too.
📗Our Junior Researcher, @gladys-legoff.bsky.social, has published in @fondation-droit-animal.org’s Quarterly Review.

#CCDay2026
🐛 Gladys Le Goff & co-authors at @sei.org & @unileiden.bsky.social find industrial insect farming may not be the climate or #AnimalWelfare solution it is often claimed to be.
🌱 Emissions can rival chicken & pork; plant-based & cultivated proteins show more promise.

#AnimalWelfare #3Rs #EndAnimalExperiments #CrueltyFree
🚨MEPs say the Biotech Act is a chance to accelerate a shift away from animal-based science.
🐁 It suggests “new approach methodologies” – testing on human tissue, chemical analysis, & computer modelling – instead of animals.
❗Results are faster & more relevant to human health.
#3Rs #CrueltyFree
🐖 Denmark’s new government pledges better pig welfare, with tail-docking enforced by 2030 & extreme breeding by 2035.
🚚 They’ll also reduce live animal exports, end caged pig farming, & impose a CO₂ tax on livestock.
🐟 Water protection will also increase.
#AnimalWelfare #BeLikeDenmark
🚛 Evidence shows transporting calves aged 2–4 weeks causes stress, fatigue & higher risk of death.
🐄 Yet some MEPs want to keep the minimum age at just 2 weeks – or even 10 days.
🔬 Younger calves need stronger protections!
