Hooray—this is awesome work. Fight the good fight.
I donated to THL last year because of this case; was advised by Founders Pledge that without funding the appeal might fall through and was keen for that not to happen. I wonder what other time-sensitive efforts in this space with room for more funding?
We are extremely grateful for your donation Henry, our supporters make this work possible!
In response to your question about room for funding, we’re currently facing a funding gap for this year and donations are vital for allowing us to continue our work on our priorities over the next 3 years. Our key priorities are:
Priority 1) We want to see tangible changes in chicken farming practices, with companies making new commitments, increased transparency, and a shift from standard factory farming of chickens towards the Better Chicken Commitment. We aim to shift even more of the UK market share towards the Better Chicken Commitment standards—from approximately 28% in 2023, to 40% in 2027.
Priority 2) We will make sure that companies who pledged to go cage-free by 2025 are following through on this promise. We aim to ensure that by 2027, 90% of hens are free from cages in the UK, ideally in free-range and organic systems.
Priority 3) Our goal is to ensure the UK and Scottish governments have incorporated stunning for farmed fishes into legislation by 2027; and build towards an impactful corporate meat-reduction campaign by 2030.
