Today marks the anniversary of one of the most daring animal rescues in recent British history.

In the early hours of 20 Dec '22, a small group entered MBR Acres, where thousands of dogs are bred each year for animal testing. 20 beagle puppies were carried out […]

Today we released a hand-drawn animation following the life of a beagle born into a facility like MBR Acres. It shows fear, confinement, and the fragile possibility of rescue. We are honoured that Dame Joanna Lumley narrates the film. It’s not graphic. But it is honest. And it is necessary.

Photo of extract from statement to Undercover Policing Inquiry, with comment by Kate Wilson: "#spycops Mark Jenner showed the depths of his prejudice yesterday. When it's pointed out he was reporting on entirely lawful activities, he totally misunderstands and says he thought it was lawful to report it, and then the kicker: "THE POLICE CAN DO NO WRONG". Commentary by Samantha Asumadu: "I hope to see this reported in the press today. It's as serious as it could be. At least one of the #SpyCops testified using their fake identity in a court of law. These people lied to their targets and to their bosses. Was anyone convicted because of their lies to a judge? If I'm reading this right, a #spycop testified in court using his fake identity. How can that be legal, and has it happened since or god forbid is still happening now? Was the judge/jury informed before or after? This follows a tweet by Tom Fowler: " A #spycops branch note aout Mark Jenner appearing in court and misleading the court about his identity. Mark Jenner proudly says he "never broke cover" with the approval of his managers. Never considered if it was appropriate" 16 Dec 25

[Original post on social.coop]
Undercover Officer Defends 1990s Intimate Relationships with Activists During the 1990s, Jenner infiltrated east London left-wing groups like the Colin Roach Centre and Hackney Community Defence Association as 'Mark Cassidy,' an anarcho-syndicalist joiner. He formed a four-year relationship with Alison, deceiving both her and his wife, and omitted it from reports while gathering intelligence on legal cases and personal details. Questioned at the Undercover Policing Inquiry, Jenner insisted the intimacy was essential, as managers focused on anti-police activities. The Metropolitan Police now apologizes for such manipulative tactics that harmed at least 50 women over decades. This story is a summary of posts on X and may evolve over time. Grok can make mistakes, verify its outputs.

A traditional Boxing Day hunt in Devon has been declared “not welcome” by the local council after Chris Packham labelled it “ethically & morally bankrupt”.

Tiverton town council overwhelmingly voted to back a motion declaring: “The hunt meet is not welcome in […]

[Original post on social.coop]
A picture of a banner is captioned: "Tiverton Town Council overwhelmingly voted to declare Boxing Day trail-hunting meet ‘not welcome’ Credit: Mark Passmore / Alamy Stock Photo" More text from article: The Tiverton Foxhounds, who have been hunting in mid-Devon for 200 years, have traditionally met on Dec 26 outside the Half Moon pub in the town square. Hunting a fox with a pack of hounds has been illegal in England and Wales since 2005. However, packs of foxhounds have been allowed to continue trail-hunting, where dogs follow an artificial scent rather than a fox. Animal rights campaigners claim the practice is simply used as cover to continue hunting illegally. The Tiverton vote is the first time that local councillors have rejected the practice and comes after Mr Packham described those who participate in the Boxing Day tradition as “ethically and morally bankrupt sociopathic savages”. Steve Bush, a Labour district councillor, said that Mr Packham had been in touch with him to pledge his support for the motion and Mr Bush read out a statement from the presenter at the meeting, according to local press reports. A photo of Chris Packham has caption: Chris Packham has asked local councillors to ‘put an end to this horrific spectacle’ Credit: Jordan Pettitt / PA Wire More text from article: ‘Redundant, illegal and vile’ In it, Mr Packham said voting against the motion would “besmirch the reputation of Tiverton” and added: “Fox hunting is a redundant, illegal and vile anathema which has no place in a world in the grip of the catastrophic loss of wildlife.” He asked councillors to “put an end to this horrific spectacle, which seeks to normalise and legitimise cruelty and suffering”. The motion was passed with 10 votes in favour, two against and eight abstentions. While the town council does not have the legal authority to ban the hunt, which is organised independently, the vote is a blow to supporters. The Tiverton Boxing Day hunt has become increasingly controversial. Last year a petition was signed by more than 4,000 people demanding it be banned and a council motion doing that was rejected by only one vote. Polly Portwin, the director of the campaign for hunting at the Countryside Alliance, said: “The annual Tiverton Boxing Day meet is a much loved festive event that is enjoyed by many and provides invaluable support to local rural businesses.
