Calling them cowards is pretty ignorant. Do you know what consultations, stakeholders, and evidence they need to consider in order to ensure it’s enacted properly for the long term results they’re aiming for?
To “affect” a change would be to alter the change itself, for example if the university had already been reviewing its portfolio then the protesters might be affecting the change by making it happen more quickly.
To “effect” a change would be to cause the change in the first place.
New tory policy on trans kids just dropped: force them to transition or we take them from their families 🙃 They’re really hoping that all the trans kids kill themselves and some have due to law changes already.

There are several factors driving this decline, including labor shortages due to Brexit, rising operational costs, and burdensome bureaucracy. While the meat industry may lament these closures, animal advocates should view them as a victory for compassion and ethical consumption. Smaller, independent slaughterhouses are disappearing at a rapid rate, replaced by larger, industrialized facilities that prioritize efficiency over animal welfare.
The closure of these smaller abattoirs is significant because they often had more humane practices and closer connections to the local farming community. In contrast, the remaining mega-slaughterhouses treat animals as mere commodities, subjecting them to inhumane conditions and suffering on an industrial scale. By reducing the number of these facilities, we are taking an important step towards a more ethical and sustainable food system.
So without a concomitant reduction in meat production this sounds like a bad thing? More animals being slaughtered in worse conditions.
