The industrial farming sector receives a lot of money from banks, which in turn, support systems that cause animals to suffer. World Animal Protection Netherlands has exposed Rabobank as one of the biggest financiers of the livestock industry, and in a recent string of campaign actions, has highlighted how it supports companies that directly contradict its animal welfare policies.
Money equals power. Unfortunately, a lot of money is currently being funnelled into companies connected to horrible animal welfare practices by Rabobank, one of the world’s largest global banks. At the same time, it speaks highly of sustainability and animal welfare in its policies, exposing a big gap between its practices and what it preaches. World Animal Protection Netherlands has been campaigning to expose this hypocrisy and encourage the bank to rethink its investments.

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

Animal rights organisation PETA has created a short feature focusing on what happens to animals during the festive period, filmed at Norwich’s Hillside Animal Sanctuary on Hall Lane.
The advert, set to air in cinemas next month, depicts a young schoolgirl stopping to practice Jingle Bells on her trumpet, near a farm she passes on her walk home. There she meets a cow who always comes to the fence to listen.
But when the girl brings her mother to meet her new friend, the cow is missing and being loaded onto a lorry bound for the abattoir.
Hillside is now home to over 4000 animals
and is one of the UK’s most successful campaigning organisations for the animals’ cause. We have always known that one of the main reasons animals are left to suffer in factory farms is because people have little or no idea about the immense cruelty involved in their food production. Although most of our rescued animals have been saved from the farming industry,
Hillside is home to over 2500 horses, ponies, donkeys and mules.
Hillside Link: If you support welfare, then Hillside is a must and be well worth supporting with any size donation,
A great sanctuary – we support regularly.
I could watch this every day !

Must there be an extra menu for vegans in the cell? Following the occupation of the ÖVP headquarters in Tyrol, an animal rights activist was briefly detained. The one-sided diet of jam sandwiches has now led to him being taken to the provincial administrative court. Accusation: discrimination!

The fate of a proposed new zoo near Holmes Chapel hangs in the balance, with a decision expected next week following a successful legal challenge by animal rights activists to overturn its planning permission. In July, Cheshire East’s southern planning committee had unanimously green-lit Zoo2U’s application for the zoo on land at The Orchards Farm (Bidlea Dairy) on Twemlow Lane, against the advice of planning officers.

When people go to a soccer game, they don’t expect to see a distressed bald eagle struggling to break free from a handler as fireworks explode around him, but that’s exactly what happened at a U.S. Women’s National Team match in Washington, D.C. The bald eagle, Clark, was hauled from a facility in Missouri just for this spectacle, and the U.S. Soccer Federation must prevent animals from suffering like this again.

Roxy the red panda kit died due to stress caused by fireworks.
According to NBC News, the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS), a wildlife conservation charity which operates the Edinburgh Zoo, announced Roxy’s death, followed closely by what they believe the cause was. The RZSS further revealed that the 3-month-old had “died due to stress caused by fireworks being let off across the city center.”

We all wish for people to enjoy some fireworks at an organised one off night event only; but here in UK now things have gotten way out of control. Fireworks are now sold for weeks in advance of the 5th, and the aim by producers now appears to be making biggest band and most disturbing. Pets do not just have this for one night now, but instead spread out over weeks. Fireworks frighten them; and can result in death as seen here.
Fireworks need to be limited to organised displays for just one night / or a weekend night nearest to the 5th. They should not be sold over the counter weeks in advanced and we call to a scheme to license organised display personnel only to be purchasers.
Animal deaths such as Roxy are a much bigger price to pay – it needs to be controlled 100% better !!
