Hi all; glad to be back with you all; have been dealing with specific issues over the last few weeks, but hopefully now back to more regularity. Diana and myself have been looking into new things to approach; and whilst this is always first and foremost a site defend animal rights issues, we will be covering some other issues dear to us; such as the Free Tibet campaign based here in London town.
We hope to ‘lift the carpet’ a bit and supply you with info on different campaign issues, whilst continuing to be the animals voice which we have always advocated.
We are currently introducing major software updates to the site which we hope will supply you with more information on things and allow us to deliver more campaigns, news and actions which we hope you ‘will get into’. At present we are learning new ways of approaching and using the software; but please stay with us and prepare for plenty of new.
Good to be back with you all, our dear animal friends;
Regards Diana and Mark

Badgers are a delight for me to see – I feed ‘mine’ every night with some extra treats. The cull is disgusting and the new Labour government needs to lower its head in shame for allowing continuation of the cull. So much for New Labour, New Life; as we all had it pumped into us in welfare many years ago !
The fight against the cull goes on;

The facts are there for all to witness – STOP THE BLOODY CULL RIGHT NOW !

Hedgehogs are now listed as “near threatened” on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s red list after a decline in numbers of at least 30% over the past decade across much of their range.
While hedgehogs were once common across Europe, and were until now listed as of “least concern” on the red list, they are being pushed towards extinction by urban development, intensive farming and roads, which have fragmented their habitat.

I used to construct hedgehog houses for our local Forestry Commission site. Here is a picture of one of these; and another showing it ‘in the field’ with a ranger. Constructed primarily from old decking it was ideal and thick and weather tough. The protective entrance is an additional to stop and predators getting at the hedgehogs.

A billboard campaign has been launched in the heart of Brussels’ EU quarter, urging the European Commission to fulfil its promises on the animal welfare legislation, now overdue by a year.
The European Commission had committed to a comprehensive overhaul of animal welfare legislation by October 2023. However, a full year has passed without the promised proposals for kept animals and slaughter being unveiled.
Countless animals continue to suffer in factory farms across the EU under outdated and inadequate laws that fail to protect them or meet their most basic needs.
As part of our No Animal Left Behind campaign, Eurogroup for Animals placed 40 billboards across 17 metro stations in the EU capital to send a strong message to the European Commission: citizens are still waiting for meaningful legislative change for the animals.
Despite the delayed proposals, it was promising to see consensus by all stakeholders of the Strategic Dialogue on the Future of EU Agriculture on the urgent need for a revision of EU animal welfare legislation by 2026 and a phase-out of cage systems. In a historic move, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also announced the creation of the role of Commissioner for Health and Animal Welfare. This new role will ensure animals have more representation on the political stage.
Next steps will see candidates for the Commissioner roles face hearings in the European Parliament in November 2024, where their priorities and plans will be scrutinised. Finding the right candidate is crucial to keep animal welfare legislation a top priority in the next legislative term.
