Thank you to Sentient and James Imam for featuring our Head of Food Business Julia Johnson, MDiv, MS in their reporting on Parma Ham.
Parma Ham has a global reputation for luxury, but an investigation of its supply chains has revealed a grimmer picture. James Imam reports:
📢 TAKE ACTION NOW📢 Freshly weaned calves from Hawai'i are being shipped alive across the Pacific Ocean in grueling transport journeys to be fattened for slaughter on the mainland. Up to 80 calves are crammed into double-decker shipping containers, enduring terrible conditions on barges for up to ten days, traveling over 2,500 miles. With no mandatory reporting on injuries or deaths, many suffer, and some even die from illnesses like pneumonia.😢 Over 30,000 calves face this ordeal each year. We can end their suffering by banning overseas exports of farmed animals and supporting local economies instead. Calves don't deserve this—sign now to support a ban on shipping farmed animals overseas for profit!

This video exposes the true horror of the trade. Like and share to spread the word that the world needs to #BanLiveExports.
This month, Tennessee became the 36th state to authorize the purchase of cage-free eggs for participants in the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program.🎉 Additionally, the state approved organic eggs, aiming to provide greater benefits to WIC participants, such as reducing consumer confusion, enhancing the dignity of participation, and bolstering resilience to market supply shocks.🥚 Read more about this news on our blog: https://bit.ly/4b09YJd #WIC #organic #eggs #egglayinghens #cagefreeeggs
Following 50 years of campaigning, Great Britain has finally banned the barbaric live exports trade, meaning thousands of farmed animals will be spared the horror of long journeys where they suffer overcrowding, exhaustion, dehydration, pain & stress. The rest of the world must now follow. This Friday, June 14 is #BanLiveExports International Awareness Day. We will be sharing a video exposing the cruelty of this trade - join us by sharing it and calling for a ban on shipping calves and other farmed animals overseas for profit.
Octopus farming not only raises animal welfare concerns but poses environmental risks too, including overfishing of wild fish in our oceans.
