England – 2 Months I Hope I Do Not Have To Experience Again.

Hi everyone,

23rd February 2026. Well, I have been in hospital since very early January. Severe bone infection in my thigh – 7 weeks of daily IV antibiotics. My WAV main problem has been the very limited computing resources here.

There are so many electrical signals buzzing around the place – doctors pagers, visitors on mobiles, staff using computers, ward computers for distribution of medicines; it is crazy.

So if you are still trying to do some work from your laptop, as I have for welfare and WAV, things are not good.

Thus I have dedicated all my time and limited resources into just one issue. That has been the one to get catapults banned due to the amount of wild animals being killed for fun by young people using them. They appear to get a kick out of the killings, as they then go on to boast about it on social media.

All I can really say at present is that us in welfare have now undertaken everything we can at the moment. Future progress now hinges entirely on getting the 100k signatures on the formal government petition so we can then get a formal debate in Parliament.

Thus I urge anyone and everyone to please sign and pass on. THANK YOU.

I am currently still in hospital, but the doc. has just visited and told me hopefully I will be liberated in a few days.

Cosmic !!! – away and back home to much better computing facilities. But I must say that I have had a great time here in hospital. All the nurses have been superb, and the cleanliness everywhere has been 110%+. Really great to see.

Therefore, I am now going back to covering some World animal issues. That starts as of today – 23rd February.

Normality lingers just around the corner, and I am desperate to get back to it !

Regards Mark.

England – The Animal Welfare Strategy.

The nations which make up the United Kingdom has very many citizens who care deeply for animals. As sentient beings, they are capable of showing fear, pain, pleasure and joy. It is our collective responsibility to provide them with the best in whatever ways we can. 85% of British adults agree that we have a moral duty to protect animals and their welfare.

Here is the new animal welfare strategy by the English Government published in December 2025.

England – Sending You All, My Global Friends, Best Wishes For 2026 – I Think It Will Be A Good Year For The Animals.

It is just me, but this is the first recording I play every January 1st.

I would like to send everyone and their loved ones very best wishes for the New Year 2026. Something tells me that 2026 is going to be a positive year for the AR movement. I promise you I intend to play a very small part in that. Regards Mark.

England – Opinion – They Had Their Chance After The Hunting Act Ban Was Introduced, But Their ‘Blood Lust’ Made Them Think They Were Still Above National Law.

By Mark – The hunting down and killing of British wildlife in the name of ‘sport’ has led to a huge conflict killing of between us, the ‘Antis’, such as sabs; and ‘Pro Kill’ hunt campaigners on the other side of the fence, for decades.

But for our WAV visitor friends from overseas who may be shouting here re the resultant killing of dogs in the following article, I need to say that there is a deeper side on dog killing by hunts than what even the average Brit knows.

By using reliable information data supported by the links provided here, I also hope to provide you with further insight that ‘lifts the lid’ on the issue. To some, the Boxing Day showcase all looks very ‘happy England’ does it not. Boxing Day, 26/12, sees the local hunt parade through local villages with their animals.

Hunting dogs, by their very nature, are dogs bred to chase, catch, and rip to shreds British wildlife. It is not the hunting dogs fault; it is the way they are raised which makes them mature hunter / killers. Hence most normal pet owners would not ever consider adopting an ex hunting dog. Not if you want more placid animals that you own, including cats, placid dogs and rabbits to carry on surviving.

So, lets lift the lid a little to the reality:

According to us, It is estimated that at least somewhere around 6,000 yo 8,000 hunting doge are slaughtered every year because they do not show enough blood lust, the basic want to kill, or they other problems such as being deaf. Nationally the numbers could be greater, another area of conflict between antis and prohunt supporters.

I was going to deal here also with a section on the Galgos, or Spanish hunting dogs, as they suffer immensely. I will now cover this in a new, separate post.
