It is not your right – based on YOUR traditions, YOUR customs and YOUR habits – to deny animals THEIR freedom so you can harm them, enslave them and kill them. That’s not what rights are about. That’s injustice. There is no counter-argument to veganism. Accept it. Apologize for the way you’ve been living. Make amends and move forward.Gary Yourofsky
ALL animal (ab)use, such as for food, fashion, entertainment, research, testing, education, god, ritual, etc., is exploitation.
ALL animal exploitation is abuse.
ALL exploited animals are victims whose suffering is required for all exploitation.

I do not aim for this to be a politically biased site – in my view they are all liars and make false election promises which thereafter they often fail to keep.
For those of you who are non UK resident, we have here 2 main political parties – namely the Conservatives and Labour. The Conservatives (Tories) form the current government with a majority of MPs, and Labour is in opposition.
The Tories have been in power for 12 years,following the General Election in May 2010.
Many people now consider it is time for a change.
There will almost certainly be a General Election where citizens vote for a government in 2024.
Each party has an area associated with animal welfare – and here are the links:
Conservatives – About Us | Conservative Animal Welfare Foundation
Labour – https://www.labouranimalwelfaresociety.org.uk/
The Conservatives have promised a lot – and then failed: England: Here We Go Again – Government Bullshit Promises On Actions ALREADY Making Their Way Through Parliament Which Would Have Given Animals More Protection. – World Animals Voice
After Brexit, we were promised legislation to ban the export of live animals for slaughter and further fattening. Despite personally being involved in a government consultation; at wich I personally presented over 50 A4 pages of evidence as to why live transport should be banned; the Tories have now pulled the plug and are not moving on with this – see last link for more.
CAWG says:
We have been disappointed by moves to drop the long-promised Consultation on animal welfare labelling, and the discontinuation of the Kept Animals Bill (which included an end to live exports for fattening and slaughter). While we remain supportive of the Government’s approach to deliver these measures through alternative legislative vehicles, we fear not all of these can become law before the next General Election.
Maybe not as disappointed as you will be at the next General Election !!
We now wait for Labour to move forward with the issue – animal welfare is a big vote winner – the problem is some political parties do not recognise this.
As I previously said, this site is not politically biased; I attempt to proide info and some links, as I have done here, and then individuals can further research as required.

Inside Arabia’s camel contests: ‘Preparing my animals for a beauty pageant takes lots of time’
In shaded compounds across the Arabian Peninsula, comely camels doze contentedly despite the 45°C heat while their doting handlers dream of the multimillion-pound prizes to be won at beauty pageants their camels will compete in in the coming cooler months.
Abdullah Said Al-Malki’s sprawling farm near the coastal city of Barka in Oman, 40 miles from the capital Muscat, is renowned for producing a series of pageant winners. His current stable of leggy supermodels are tall and blonde, with attitudes to match, that can earn hundreds of thousands of rials strutting the parade grounds of the Gulf states.

Lidl suspends contract with Bedfordshire egg supplier over animal rights group’s neglect claims
Campaigners claim the conditions in the farm amount to neglect
Credit: Animal Justice Project
Supermarket chain Lidl has suspended its contract with a major egg supplier after campaigners released undercover pictures which they say show neglect of chickens.
Lidl cancelled the agreement with Bird Bros Ltd in Bedfordshire after an investigation by campaigners from the Animal Justice Project.
During a five-month investigation, the group said they uncovered evidence of hens being trapped, denied food and water, and distressing conditions in cages.
They said the distressing footage taken at Bird Bros, based at Sunny Farm in Swinshead, shows hens deprived of sunlight and confined to wire mesh floors, bearing severe feather loss and exhibiting apparent, profound distress.
Lidl said it had immediately launched an investigation and would not take any more supplies from the farm until it had been completed.
In footage released by Animal Rights Project, a worker is filmed roughly slamming birds into cages and hitting hens with shovels.
The group also alleges that one instance of neglect, where the hens were given no water and were not checked for months, led to the discovery of hundreds of dead animals.
Tayana Simons, a campaigner for the group, said: “The footage from Bird Bros exposes yet another example of how supermarkets’ welfare claims translate to nothing for farmed animals. The distressing scenes underscore the urgent need for immediate legislative action.”
The farm in Bedfordshire has 15 sheds

The group said the farm has 15 sheds and was estimated to house over half-a-million hens in colony cages – sometimes referred to as enriched cages – inside sheds with space for 52,000 birds each.
Responding to the investigation, Lidl said an investigation was launched on Thursday, and that it “immediately took action to suspend supply of product from the farm”.
The farm is a very small supplier that only supplies into one of their 13 distribution centres, it added.
“We take animal welfare incredibly seriously and we expect our suppliers to meet all recognised farm assurance standards, including the British Lion Code of Practice.
“On receiving this information we immediately launched an investigation into Sunny Farm and will be working with third parties to undertake urgent audits to ensure the welfare standards expected are being met. We will not be taking any more product from this farm until the investigation has been concluded to our satisfaction.”
The UK produces around 10.6 billion eggs per year, and around 12.5 billion are eaten every year. Caged birds produce around 28% of UK eggs.
The British Egg Industry Council said: “We can confirm the farm involved was immediately audited. Stringent disciplinary proceedings are under way and while the process is ongoing it is inappropriate for us to comment further.”
ITV News has approached Bird Bros Ltd for comment.

… and the original by English band ‘The Cure’ :
From animal buddy Di in Germany.
Bavaria has declared war not only with the wolf, but now with fish otters as well.
From 1/8/23 a new regulation is in place that allows all year round hunting. The otter is a protected species under European law (?) and law suits are already being filed. But the sheer cheek of these people !
Elections are up and down there. One Markus Soder hopes to gain votes from the ‘right sort’ with these actions. Mountain farmers, fishers, hunters etc,
Much of Bavaria is rural, and so he can indeed hope to succeed.

For those of you who are not UK residents, England is by far the largest UK nation, but politically, often the slowest.
Despite this, it (England) often lets the other nations, especially Wales and Scotland, change laws before it does so itself – a kind of tester of public opinion before taking the plunge.
The issue of snares is typical; Wales bans, now the Scottish government starts a consultation on the issue; whilst England does nothing but sits back to see what happens before it takes any action on ban snares along with Wales.
I predict that in the end Scotland will also ban snares like the Welsh. Only after these ‘testers’ are done will the English government wake up and start doing anything; late as they often are.
Mark
The Scottish Government will launch a consultation over banning snares which capture wild animals.
Ministers want views on whether an outright ban should be put in place for the use of snares or if any exemptions should be considered.
It is also asking for opinions on extending the investigative powers of the Scottish SPCA. This would be a new measure which will give it more powers to tackle wildlife crime.
It is part of the Wildlife Management and Muirburn (Scotland) Bill, which is currently at Stage 1 in the Scottish Parliament.
