#BreakingNews 📣💔
Newcastle Under Lyme Council has APPROVED a proposal for two new poultry houses at an intensive farm in Stafford.

Factory farming causes suffering to animals, our planet & public health. We are incredibly disappointed with this decision and urge the council to reconsider.

It was great to talk to Sir John Hayes MP about strengthening animal protection at #CPC25!
#AnimalsMatter, and having cross-party support on issues such as ending the caged keeping of farmed animals in the UK is essential to driving real change in animal welfare legislation.

Big news in the the fight for a #furfree future!

Fashion media giant Condé Nast will no longer feature new fur in any of its publications! 🦊

Cruelty has never been on trend, but we're hopeful that these publications can help spread the word far and wide that compassion has a place in fashion.

When Dr. Jane Goodall and our late founder, Heli Dungler, met, two passionate visionaries united in their dedication to animals. We will forever treasure the memories of their inspiring conversations and shared commitment to creating lasting change.

She famously said, "the least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves," and we carry these words with us as we continue to be a voice for animals and work towards a world that treats animals with respect, empathy and understanding.
