Yes, first and foremost this site, WAV, hopefully undertakes what it says on the label, to be a voice for animals. There is a lot in the way of initial bad news, but through everyone’s tenacity, we often see what initially starts as negative news, ends up with something positive – a prosecution, conviction, a prison sentence etc. People and their combined actions bring results; lets not forget that.
So, Animal Rights campaigners, when the lid is peeled back more, usually show themselves also as compassionate beings who are willing to, and often do, ‘cross the border’ into the land of human rights issues also. We do that here fairly infrequently, but occasionally write the odd human rights article when we feel the need to shout about something a little more. These are our views only, but we obviously appreciate that some others will have different views to those which we express – if we all sang from the same hymn sheet then it would be a pretty boring world !
We try to report primarily on issues in the Ukraine, Tibet and the Gaza sector – all areas which we, as individuals, feel closely for the people / citizens of those areas; people who, like the animals, often suffer largely in silence whilst we hear from bleating politicians who continually go on about what they are doing, often ‘weasel words’ which basically only maintain the status quo.

Diana and I, Mark, have been deeply disturbed by the news and photographs arriving from Gaza every single day. Thus together, we have decided to wander off the usual AR path and news, and ALSO try to bring you more news relating to suffering of the innocents in Gaza. We have here a situation which could immediately put food into the mouths of these suffering people, if only real action was taken by the few, instead of continually supplying arms to Israel whilst being out playing golf in some pathetic self imposed ‘glory hunt’. Food which would feed babies rather than being burned on the orders of a dictator.
The world is seriously tuning in its condemnation here, the words press are reporting about it every single day; and we also feel the need to play our part. The UK, in the form of ‘the Independent’ and ‘the Guardian’ newspapers are both admired by us for their excellent coverage of this situation, and by the sheer professionalism of its journalists. We aim to simply provide regular links to these sources to highlight the increasing daily desperation of the citizens of Gaza.
The world will eventually decide politically on the futures of these tyrants. The American Indians had a wonderful saying regarding money as opposed to so many other vitally important issues:
As said above, some people may not agree with our views on this; we respect that and leave them to express their views in the alternative options open to them. Our work also being a voice for the people of the Ukraine and Tibet will not stop:

As always, helping animals is our No. 1 issue, but we cannot simply turn our backs on the seriously suffering people of this planet – WE HOPE YOU AGREE WITH OUR VIEWS – it means additional work; but hopefully work which will have positive consequences in the very near future.
Regards and respect.
