"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"In its animal-welfare strategy, branded the most ambitious welfare reforms in a generation, the government is setting out an overhaul of laws on farm animals, pets and wildlife. Campaigners say more than 9 million pigs every year could be spared agonising deaths in carbon dioxide chambers, under plans to rethink the practice. Farmers will be forced to phase out pig farrowing crates and colony cages for laying hens which both provide cramped conditions that stop animals moving about naturally."

The Independent highlights coverage ranging from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech investigations and documentaries spotlighting American women fighting for rights. The government unveiled an ambitious animal-welfare strategy proposing overhauls for farm animals, pets and wildlife. Campaigners estimate more than nine million pigs yearly could avoid carbon-dioxide gassing. Proposals include phasing out pig farrowing crates and colony cages for hens, humane slaughter standards for farmed fish, and promoting slow-growing chicken breeds to reduce animal suffering.
