The Government’s consultation to phase out cages for laying hens opens TODAY.

Right now, millions of hens live in cages with space no bigger than A4 paper. This is a vital step toward ending this cruelty.

For too long, millions of animals have suffered in silence 💔.

The Government's new Animal Welfare Strategy sets out a bold vision for wildlife, companion animals, farmed animals and animals overseas - but is it enough?

#BreakingNews: fur farming in Iceland is almost gone! 🦊🇮🇸

Fur means animals trapped in tiny cages, living in misery, killed for fashion. This suffering is unnecessary and it must end.

The UK must take a clear stand and ban the import & sale of fur for good.
