England – H ow Pathetic Is This ? – A Marine Biologist and Member of Extinction Rebellion Faces A 3 Day Trial For Taking A Live Crayfish From A ‘Fancy Restaurant’, Going Outside and Dropping It Back Into the Sea !

She will face a 3 day trial next year for ‘pushing a staff member and the theft of a Crayfish’.

Emma Smart was released! on bail on the condition that she does not go back to the restaurant.

The Judge, Judge Fuller, appeared to think the whole issue was also bonkers, saying that the 3 day trial ‘would be for the theft of a lobster, wont it ?’

Above – Marine Biologist Emma Smart – now facing a 3 day trial for the theft of a lobster !

Above – Where the incident is alleged to have taken place.

The Daily Mail loves to use terms such as ‘Animal Rights Activist’ in its reporting. As you can see from the above photo, she is simply a respected Marine Biologist lady, with a personal opinion, making a point by the saving of a life. Is saving lives now a crime we ask ?

WAV fully supports the actions taken by Emma; and also agree with Judge Fuller that this pathetic case is what it is – pathetic !!!

England – MP Response To Recent Badger Letter.

Regarding the recent WAV e mail / letter to MP Dr. Sullivan – https://worldanimalsvoice.com/2025/09/02/uk-speaking-up-to-defend-our-iconic-badgers/ today there has been a rapid and positive response from her. It is positive to hear that she, like myself, thinks that badgers are an iconic part of our natural heritage and as such they need to be protected.

I would like to personally thank Dr. Sullivan MP for some very positive comments she has made in her response; which you can read in full below.

I hope that this gives badger welfare campaigners across the country the incentive to write to their own MP in order to get your views, and hopefully theirs when they respond.

Well I think my current work on this issue finishes now with these positive words.

Now I must return to other world animal issues and try to cover human rights atrocities such as those currently being experienced in Gaza.

For our friends the Badgers, Regards Mark.

UK – Speaking Up To Defend Our Iconic Badgers.

Photos – The Badger Trust.

This is a VERY important issue in a British Government attempt to quietly and covertly REMOVE PROTECTION for our wonderful and iconic Badgers by allowing UK housing developers to remove or kill an animal that is currently protected by law – under the well named Protection of Badgers Act 1992.

But the Government is trying to destroy badger protection by introducing a newly proposed housebuilding law currently in the House – it is called the ‘Planning and Infrastructure Bill’, or ‘PIB’ for short.

Here is an outline from the Badger Trust of what this new PIB is about – potentially another death sentence for the animals, which are still being slaughtered by the very same Labour government who are using Bovine TB as justification for ill informed mass murder – https://www.badgertrust.org.uk/stop-the-bill

Here is access to the Protection of Badgers 1992 official law defining documentation – https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1992/51/contents

We want Conservation, NOT CONCRETE !

Protection of Badgers Act, 1992

Yesterday, I wrote to my own Member of Parliament (MP) on this very issue. Here is a copy of my e mail:

BADGER MP LETTER 1Download
MP BADGER LETTER 2Download

I make no apologies for the basic, blunt tone; this is a government who intends to murder badgers through new legislation in the form of Section 6, Part 2 of the proposed PIB.

I hope that you UK residents will join with us badger advocates by finding your own MP, and writing as outlined in the Badger Trust action link – https://www.badgertrust.org.uk/

On behalf of the ‘brocks’ who cannot act to defend themselves, thus we must act in their defence – THANK YOU.

Regards Mark – picture below, a badger in my garden.

India – Animal Aid Unlimited.

I am taking you to all the past posts covered on this site relating to good friends at ‘Animal Aid Unlimited’ who are based in India. They undertake some absolutely amazing rescues of animals which you would often think never have a chance of surviving.

Each post is dated by month and year, and each post usually incudes 3 videos covering both the rescues and nursing back to health of individual animals, which often takes a long time, by all the amazing crew and volunteers at AAU.

I really hope that you will visit them via this link – https://worldanimalsvoice.com/?s=animal+aid+unlimited and then visit each month to watch some amazing rescue and recovery stories.

They have a special place in my heart as they do some wonderful work doing health check, feeding and regular monitoring of the many Stray Dogs in their area, as well as sterilisation to try and keep stray numbers under some control.

For example, in July this year alone they sterilised and vaccinated an amazing 435 STREET DOGS.

Enjoy visiting the page of ours which then leads on into monthly AAU rescues and thereafter recoveries.

I am including just two month here – chosen at random, for you to watch their amazing work. Thank you – Mark.
