88% of the British Public SUPPORT the animal tourism ban. The public are not dragging their heels, but the UK Government ARE. Action Required to get Environment Secretary Steve Reed (NOT ANY MORE – ALL CHANGE !) to wake up and lay a Dreft Statutory Instrument – or SI. Until then, the law has no effect.

Brazil – Court Confirms World Animal Protection’s Right To Protest Against JBS – Excellent !

The ruling follows a lawsuit filed by JBS which exposed the company’s lack of commitment to the environment, climate and animal welfare.

Possibly our flag should show:

The judge confirmed that the protests were legitimate, peaceful and based on widely known issues linked to JBS’s industrial livestock production chain. So often in the past, we have seen these rich super companies think they have the right to win over the smaller boys with their financial threats. Well now JBS has lost = and rightly !

When It Counts, We Are Perfectly Able To Understand What Nature Has To Say. The Problem Is, We Choose Not To.
