With huge sadness I’m resigning as Vice President of RSPCA, a role I’ve held with pride for over 15 years. But their Assured Schemes risk misleading the public & legitimising cruelty. I tried with @ChrisGPackham to persuade the leadership to act but sadly failed

Long overlooked for his efforts against humanity, finally gets his due.

Salmon exposed to banned chemicals unwittingly sold by UK supermarkets Norwegian firm Mowi, which describes itself as the 'world's most sustainable protein producer' has been selling fish exposed to dozens of chemicals to UK supermarkets as 'organic'.

1/3 This scandal with so-called 'organic' salmon is just the tip of the iceberg. Not only are consumers being duped into paying premium prices for farmed salmon doused in toxic chemicals, but the entire practice of fish farming is an environmental disaster.

Organic salmon appears to be like free range eggs - both happen in factory farming environments and both are not what they seem.

I keep seeing well known figures in the UK, who I really admire for their leadership and #activism, getting so carried away that they’ve got key facts completely wrong - and the credibility of the message is undermined. It’s so important to get the #science right, however famous you are #factcheck

I love it here and not planning to go back!

Exposing the Gaps: How the 3Rs Fail to Protect Animals in Research - Science Advancement and Outreach Division Exposing the Gaps: How the 3Rs Fail to Protect Animals in Research Written by Kati BertrandNovember 2024 A lot has changed since Russell and Burch defined the 3Rs—Replacement, Reduction, and Refinemen...

The #3Rs just aren't cutting it. We need an ethical framework that is enforceable, takes into account what we now know about animal sentience, the booming world of #NAMs, & perhaps offers a fourth "R" - Rejection.

Lush Prize launch new report on animal research and alternatives in Africa - Lush Prize A new report from Lush Prize looks at animal use in research, testing and education in Africa, as well as alternative, non-animal, approaches across the continent.

Lush Prize recently released the first report to examine the use of animals in research, testing & education across the whole of Africa, assessing animal use, legislation, use of non-animal methods & much more - lushprize.org/lush-prize-r...

Yes - I’ve heard it myself. I was sent an episode by people concerned about the total bull**it being shared by someone who claimed to be a toxicologist. I’m massively into alternative therapies myself but misinformation is different - it’s dangerous, misleading, and irresponsible…. #pseudoscience

The government is legally required to make the UK net zero by 2050 , but we’re seriously off track to achieving our climate targets . Warmer homes , cheaper energy , better transport , cleaner air and decent green jobs are achievable . . . but we need action . 1/

Hedgehogs under threat in Scotland as population falls by more than 100,000 in 20 years Hedgehogs have been listed as “near threatened” by a global wildlife organisation as the population in Scotland is down nearly 50 per cent over the past two decades.

The hedgehog, once common throughout Scotland, has been updated from “least concern to near threatened” in the latest International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of threatened species
