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.
IN a significant step towards animal welfare, the Cartagena Department of Health has signed a contract aimed at managing over 110 stray cats in the area. With a budget of €11,641, the plan includes sterilisation, vaccination, deworming, and microchipping these cats, ensuring each one is properly identified.

The CER method: Effective strategy for stray population control
This plan follows the successful implementation of the CER (Capture, Sterilise, and Return) method, which has been a priority for the department, especially after the pandemic. The agreement, formalised with Los Molinos Veterinary Clinic, allows for essential medical care for cats in various neighbourhoods, including Canteras, Perín, and La Magdalena.
Future funding and commitment to animal welfare
The council highlighted that this contract aligns with the new animal rights law and continues ongoing efforts to control the stray cat population in collaboration with local animal protection organisations. Since the start of the program, about 400 cats from different colonies have already received care. With further funding opportunities on the horizon, Cartagena aims to strengthen its commitment to the health and welfare of its stray cat community.

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Countless animals continue to suffer in factory farms across the EU under outdated and inadequate laws that fail to protect them or meet their most basic needs.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.

Dear all,
this terrible conflict that defies all sense and humanity has now moved on to Lebanon. As in Gaza, Innocents – Human and Non-Human alike – suffer the impossible due to the relentless bombardment of Israel.
Please, if you can, spare a few Euros/Dollars/Pounds, etc.
Every little helps to alleviate the suffering and save lives.
Thank you.

He realised the only thing I couldn’t say no to was giving all the money away to animal rights organisations. The irony is the only way to get me on tour is to make sure I don’t make a penny from it.
Moby’s passion for animal rights is no secret as the star has even brand himself with his beliefs through tattoos.
His boldest are two arm tattoos which he debuted in 2019 and read ‘Animal Rights’, one word on each arm in thick black ink.

All across Europe, billions of animals endure unimaginable suffering every day, as current EU laws continue to fall short in providing them the protection they desperately need. NGOs Eurogroup for Animals and FOUR PAWS have teamed up to host the photo exhibition Silent Suffering which will expose the pain and distress endured by farmed, companion, wild, and aquatic animals.
The invite-only event will take place on 1 October at the Royal Library of Belgium in Brussels, bringing together MEPs and representatives of animal protection organisations from across Europe.
The photos, put forward by Eurogroup for Animals’ member and partner organisations are spread across nine categories: cage farming, transport, broiler chickens, aquatics, fur farming, animals in science, large carnivores, pets, and trade.
Why this exhibition matters now
As the European Commission prepares to enter a new term, FOUR PAWS and Eurogroup for Animals call for animal welfare to be a priority, and for a revision of the outdated animal welfare legislation to be put forward without further delay.
