🎉 Great news to end 2024! The Liddesdale Foxhounds, one of Scotland’s oldest hunts, has folded following the Hunting with Dogs (Scotland) Act. That’s the third hunt to close since the Act became law. Let’s keep the pressure on to end hunting everywhere! 🦊

There’s already about 1.2 billion cars on the roads worldwide and rising Turning all these cars into electric cars with vast land and ocean needed to be mined would destroy so much of nature Instead invest in public transport, cycle lanes trains etc

"We devalue these animals' lives because we have to in order to exploit them." Spot on. Killing & eating animals means ignoring all of their traits, abilities & needs that they have in common with us humans. Animals should be seen as the individuals they are, not as objects for people to use.

Brazil’s rich biodiversity makes it a prime target for biopiracy - the unlawful exploitation & commercialisation of natural resources & traditional knowledge for profit - harming communities dependent on these resources, and disturbing the delicate balance of life. www.thecanary.co/global/world...

Beneath The Wood Sanctuary was hard hit by #StormDarragh A huge tree crashed down on the main pig barn - and there's been damage to fences from other fallen trees. Thankfully no injured pigs 🐷 - but repairing their forever home will cost thousands. Can you help? 🙏⤵️ donorbox.org/beneath-the-...
The roof of the main pig barn at Beneath The Wood Sanctuary, seen from inside, showing bent girders and holes in the corrugated roof where a massive tree - just visible through the holes & skylights - crashed down during Storm Darragh. There are several pigs below, sitting in the straw, still coming to terms with the shock of what happened. A view of the fallen tree at Beneath The Wood Sanctuary, which crashed down horizontally on the main pig barn roof, blocking the bridle path that overlooks the barn. The tree's exposed roots are clearly visible on the right of the photo. A close up photo of the top of the huge fallen tree, as it rests horizontally on the roof of the main pig barn at Beneath The Wood Sanctuary, Wales. The tree's evergreen leaves are pressed firmly against the corrugated roof.

Switch to a vegan diet now, you'll thank yourself when you are older 😘 "The results showed not only that vegan eaters required fewer medications than meat-eaters, but that the number was significantly reduced. Vegans, on average, required 58% fewer prescription medications than meat-eaters."

This adorable baby reindeer won't get to roam thousands of miles of Arctic tundra as nature intended. He'll be carted around the country every festive season to "entertain" noisy crowds. Say no to events that exploit live animals 🦌
A reindeer lying on a bed of straw inside a wooden pen. The reindeer is wearing a black halter, and a person in a yellow jacket is reaching over the fence, gently petting the animal's neck. The setting appears to be an enclosure at an event or petting zoo.

Right now, nations are negotiating the details of a treaty designed to slash plastic waste. One option on the table: tax new plastic to discourage overproduction.
