In December 2025, the Government confirmed that live boiling is not acceptable, a major step forward for crustacean welfare. We celebrated this win with MPs, NGOs, and advocates at a Parliamentary event on 21 January 2026, as Crustacean Compassion marks its 10‑year anniversary. Coupled with a new Animal Sentience Committee report urging consistent legal protections for decapods, 2026 is set to be a defining year - if policymakers act.
This year proved that change is possible. From bold campaigns to growing industry commitments, every step we took in 2025 brings us closer to a compassionate future crustaceans.
