Supermarkets are stepping up for crustacean welfare in The Snapshot 2025. With our new Supermarket Scorecards, you can quickly see how your favourite retailers compare and choose compassionately.
The government is consulting on reforms to the Veterinary Surgeons Act. Our CEO, Dr Ben Sturgeon explains why crustaceans must be included, due to their sentience recognition and ability to feel pain and suffering. You can help shape this change by responding to the consultation before 25 March 2026.
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.
