Judicial Review Launched Over Public Order Act Amendment On 4 February, the House of Lords voted not to block the Government’s changes to the Public Order Act, expanding the definition of β€œkey national infrastructure” to include animal testing facilities.

GOOD NEWS! Lawyers for Animals, alongside co-claimant Maria Iriart from Camp Beagle, are now pursuing a judicial review challenging the decision to classify the life sciences sector, including animal testing facilities, as key national infrastructure

Thousands back call to end controversial gannet harvest More than 25,000 people have signed a petition calling on NatureScot to stop licensing the harvest of Northern Gannets from a remote Hebridean island.

Protect the Wild – which created the petition – argues that NatureScot is failing to meet evidential thresholds when issuing these licences and should not continue authorising the hunt.

SHARE if you agree!

The Guga hunt is an annual tradition where gannet chicks (Guga) are bashed to death in the name of tradition so they can be eaten as a local delicacy. This 'hunt' has no place in 2026 and we're campaigning to end it.

Does this look ok to you? This is the Guga hunt where the 'Men of Ness' travel to a remote Scottish island to kill Gannet chicks in the name of cultural tradition.

We're not going anywhere until the hunt is ended.

So it’s happened.

The first arrest has now been made since the Public Order Act (2023) was amended to classify animal testing sites as β€œkey national infrastructure.”

This is Britain in 2026, where you can be arrested and detained simply for peacefully protesting against animal testing.
