At the age of 91 she was still working to inspire young people to fight for ethical treatment of animals and the climate.
I’ll never forget her generosity when I had the honour of meeting her once - she said “thank you for fighting for animals- we’re all they’ve got”

This beautiful lion was shot by hunters in Zimbabwe in recent days. Blondie was the leader of a pride with 10 cubs, all of who are now at risk. Those who killed Blondie are said to have paid £35,000 to guides to lure him from a protected area. They will try to export Blondie’s body parts as trophies

Imported meat should meet the same animal welfare standards as meat from the EU.
Listening to an important @eurogroupforanimals.org debate.
We expect EU legislation in 2026 that may make this a reality #animalwelfare #trade

Today I’m at the launch of the European Parliament exhibition on the hidden costs of Factory Farming.
The pictures of animal abuse are so horrific - I can it post them here.
But there is hope - activists and MEPs are trying to change this cruel system

4. There should be the same standards for products produced in the EU and those imported from third countries. Imported low quality & low welfare meat should no longer be sold on our shelves. This could help raise animal welfare standards globally.
Factory farmed meat will no longer make the grade

The shocking increase in meat consumption over the last 60 years is not just about human population growth.
Cruel Factory Farming is over producing cheap meat at an enormous cost to our planet and to the suffering of animals. Time to #EndFactoryFarming ourworldindata.org/animal-welfare

At the Chang Chill elephant reserve in Thailand.
@animalprotection.bsky.social helped set up this reserve where elephants are respected. After a life of hard work, they now mostly just eat, sleep & wash themselves - what a great life!

Refreshing that every speaker today agreed that animal welfare friendly farming is better for the environment, humans and animals.
We need certainty & support for farmers and guarantees they won’t be undercut by low quality meat imports.
Thanks @jackeparrock.bsky.social for moderating today 👏🏻

At a European Parliament event Marleen Kestens from the European Heart Network makes the point that taxpayers money is subsidising unhealthy industrial animal farming.
This is driving cardiovascular disease - the EU's biggest killer causing 1.7 million deaths per year but 80% can be prevented.

1 February - Saint Brigid’s Day.
Brigid was often seen with animals and is the patron Saint of cows. Brigid’s roots are as a Celtic goddess. In pagan times animals were respected and protected as a source of food companionship. For those that love animals, Brigid is an inspiring figure 🐮🐄🐂
