Negotiations on the UK-EU SPS Agreement have started, and the EU is pushing for dynamic alignment - a system that would, in practice, force the UK to follow EU rules automatically, even when they fall below the standards supported by the British public, science, and Parliament.

We cannot let this happen behind closed doors.

✍️ Write to the Cabinet Office today and kindly urge the Paymaster General to secure an animal welfare carve-out.

Animals need your voice. Speak up now.

This should be a turning point.

But instead, what we’re seeing - both in the EU and the UK - is political backtracking under industry pressure.

Our investigation revealed that European Commissioners met multiple times with foie gras industry representatives in 2025. Shortly after, the Commission moved forward with rules that continue to accommodate force-feeding - protecting the very system MEPs are now challenging.

At the same time in the UK, the Government is on the verge of quietly abandoning its clear promise to ban foie gras imports.

No public debate or mandate. Just reports of the pledge being traded away in EU-UK negotiations.

Across Europe, decision-makers are listening to industry voices while ignoring public demand and political commitments to end one of the most extreme forms of animal suffering.

Foie gras production is so cruel it’s been banned in the UK for nearly 20 years. Yet imports continue - and now even that modest step forward is at risk.

Governments cannot claim progress on animal protection while simultaneously enabling the very systems they say they oppose.

In the slaughterhouse, one sheep stands out. She was spared—only to betray her kind. Trained to guide lambs to the slaughter area, she is their only source of trust in a place filled with fear and confusion.

But this isn’t betrayal. Like the lambs, she is a victim of the cruel meat industry - a tool to be exploited, day after day, until she too is deemed “useless” and killed.

The reality is heartbreaking. The suffering is immense. But you can help change this.

At the event, Abigail Penny, Executive Director of Animal Equality UK, urged Members of the Scottish Parliament to act. She highlighted the lack of species-specific laws for farmed fish at slaughter and the urgent need for expert-led, enforceable protections.

With global standards advancing, Scotland risks falling behind. Exposés by Animal Equality have exposed fish suffering unnecessarily - gills cut while conscious, ineffective stunning, and suffocation aboard boats. Without strong legal safeguards, farmed fish are at risk of further extreme suffering.

The message was clear: Scotland must introduce meaningful legal protections and make them count 🐟

📢 Key takeaway: Farmed fish are sentient beings who deserve the same legal protections as other animals. It’s time for Scotland to take action and ensure their welfare is not forgotten.

⚠️ Why this matters: Every year, millions of fish suffer in Scottish fish farms, facing inhumane slaughter methods with little to no legal protection. Together, we must push for laws that prevent unnecessary suffering.
