Great news!! Iceland CANCELS 2025 fin whaling season, sparing countless sentient whales a brutal and pointless death. It’s time for a permanent ban now!!

Watched @MisbehaviourHD on women’s liberation movement & Miss World. The ending is very moving, w/ the actual women who stood up for our rights. Final words on screen “Attempts to bring down the patriarchy remain ongoing”. Too bloody right, in so many ways. Never be complacent.

There is no evidence whatsoever to support the assertion that social stigma of fur has faded. It’s vile & cruel and most Brits find it abhorrent. Shame to have such drivel in the Guardian.

Agreed. Govt incentives & awareness campaigns needed to increase consumer transition to EVs. Shame we don’t hear the same support for Govt intervention on transition to plant-based eating.

Cruel madness.

New Chinese Gov. support for alternative proteins could accelerate regulatory approval for cultivated meat + drive R&D funding for alt pros. China previously announced aim to reduce meat consumption by 50% by 2030. #vegan cultivated-x.com/politics-law...

🌊 Whales are critical to the health of our oceans and our planet!

Today, on #WorldWhaleDay, we remember that their existence is threatened by a myriad of human-caused threats such as climate change, pollution, bycatch, and illegal hunting.

How a month of abstinence can lead to 'meat disgust' There are some surprising impacts of cutting out meat, even for a short period, which can carry on well beyond the end of abstinence.

Fascinating read in BBC Futures on impacts of cutting meat and embracing plant-based www.bbc.com/future/artic...

I see you 😊

My beautiful Pip is 12 years old. Could not adore him more. That face!! 🥰

Grey seals, minke whales and bluefin tuna: is the North Sea bouncing back to its glory days? Hollywood stars once came for the big-game fishing, but the return of a host of species to the depleted waters around Britain’s coast is a cause for quiet optimism From the outside, the Tunny Club looks like any other seaside fish and chip shop. A short…

Update: thanks to London Wildlife Protection, Percy is on his way to shelter help in Wimbledon. Good luck Percy!

Poorly pigeon in the garden today. We’ve called him Percy. Waiting for the pigeon rescuers to collect him. He can’t fly and falls over frontwards when he tries to run. Percy’s just chilling for now. ❤️ #animalrescue 🐦

Humane Society International/India + PFA saved an astonishing 751 buffaloes, goats, pigeons & chickens from beheading at Nepal’s Gadhimai animal sacrifice festival. Phenomenally proud of my India colleagues www.hsi.org/news-resourc...

Despicable that Iceland’s caretaker government has cynically pushed through granting a 5 year whaling licence before the new anticipated coalition government takes power. Whaling goes against morality, conservation, public opinion and Iceland’s own animal welfare law. The killing must end. 🐋

You can now follow my colleagues at Humane Society International/ Europe to see all the fabulous work they do to help make the world a less grim place for our animal friends 🐷 🐮 🦊 🐺 🐶 🐔 🦁

More beautiful animal souls saved from beheading at Gadhimai festival in Nepal. My HSI India colleagues are truly amazing. I have so much respect for them. This is exhausting but rewarding work. #EveryLifeMatters

The first of hopefully many animals my HSI/India colleagues are saving from being beheaded at Nepal’s Gadhimai animal sacrifice festival. They are working hard on the ground. Every life matters. 🐐 🐃 Thank goodness for these animal heroes.

The world’s going to hell in a hand cart but his furry little face makes everything better. @dogs.bsky.social

On @itvnews.bsky.social last night HSI’s fur farm investigation on cruelty & public health risk of fur industry. It’s why @RuthJoneslabour.bsky.social #FurFreeBritain Bill is so vital. 📺 Watch full report: www.itv.com/news/2024-11...

Thank you so much! 🌱

Thank you so much!

Hi Freya great starter pack idea! If you have any space would you consider adding me? Many thanks

This is so helpful. I would love to be added if there’s still space but otherwise, thank you for creating it! 🌱

A split image shows two contrasting scenes. The top half depicts a young, grey fox curled up inside a small wire cage, looking sad and vulnerable. The bottom half shows a grey knit hat with a fluffy fur pom-pom on top. The juxtaposition highlights the connection between the suffering of animals in captivity and the fashion industry's use of fur for clothing accessories, raising awareness about the cruelty behind seemingly harmless fashion trends.

His whole life has been full of misery, pain, and suffering - for a hat. #FurFreeBritain

Really proud of my charity today, HSI/UK (sadly not on 🦋). Incredible work at Parliament w/ Ruth Jones MP + Four Paws calling for a fur import & sales ban. The fur trade is cruel to animals, a risk to public health and a nightmare for the environment. Let’s end it. #FurFreeBritain 🦊 🇬🇧
