As part of this commitment, we are conducting an internal assessment of our programmatic work, and we would love to hear from you. We are seeking your input to better understand how familiar the farmed animal advocacy community is with our work, how people use our work, and the positive and negative effects our charity evaluations, recommendations, and grants have on organizations and individuals working in animal advocacy. Your feedback is incredibly important in helping us improve our work. The survey will take roughly 15 minutes, and your insights will directly shape our efforts moving forward. ACCESS THE SURVEY The survey will be open until June 15th, 2025. We appreciate your time and support! The ACE team.

Hi everyone, Fórum Animal is pleased to announce that Piscicultura Água Pura/Recanto Sol Nascente has publicly committed to improving the welfare of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)! The company has reinforced its commitment in 2025 to continue implementing the following practices: ·        Daily assessment of water quality ·        Removal of predators from tanks ·        Transporting animals only in good quality water The company primarily sells live animals. However, when slaughter is necessary, the public commitment also ensures that animals will be slaughtered with adequate prior stunning methods such as electric stunning or percussive shock. Fórum Animal engaged in friendly negotiations with the company in April 2025 based on our "Guidelines for Commitment to Animal Welfare in Fish Farming". We estimate that this commitment will benefit 300,000 tilapia annually in Brazil! Check out the commitment in Portuguese [here]. We will continue negotiating fish welfare commitments with other companies to expand the positive impact on millions of lives. For the animals!
