Great news!! Iceland CANCELS 2025 fin whaling season, sparing countless sentient whales a brutal and pointless death. It’s time for a permanent ban now!!

Watched @MisbehaviourHD on women’s liberation movement & Miss World. The ending is very moving, w/ the actual women who stood up for our rights. Final words on screen “Attempts to bring down the patriarchy remain ongoing”. Too bloody right, in so many ways. Never be complacent.

You can stand up for animals every time you sit down to eat, by choosing plant-based options 🌱 #vegan

Poorly pigeon in the garden today. We’ve called him Percy. Waiting for the pigeon rescuers to collect him. He can’t fly and falls over frontwards when he tries to run. Percy’s just chilling for now. ❤️ #animalrescue 🐦

Humane Society International/India + PFA saved an astonishing 751 buffaloes, goats, pigeons & chickens from beheading at Nepal’s Gadhimai animal sacrifice festival. Phenomenally proud of my India colleagues www.hsi.org/news-resourc...

Despicable that Iceland’s caretaker government has cynically pushed through granting a 5 year whaling licence before the new anticipated coalition government takes power. Whaling goes against morality, conservation, public opinion and Iceland’s own animal welfare law. The killing must end. 🐋

More beautiful animal souls saved from beheading at Gadhimai festival in Nepal. My HSI India colleagues are truly amazing. I have so much respect for them. This is exhausting but rewarding work. #EveryLifeMatters

The first of hopefully many animals my HSI/India colleagues are saving from being beheaded at Nepal’s Gadhimai animal sacrifice festival. They are working hard on the ground. Every life matters. 🐐 🐃 Thank goodness for these animal heroes.

On @itvnews.bsky.social last night HSI’s fur farm investigation on cruelty & public health risk of fur industry. It’s why @RuthJoneslabour.bsky.social #FurFreeBritain Bill is so vital. 📺 Watch full report: www.itv.com/news/2024-11...

Really proud of my charity today, HSI/UK (sadly not on 🦋). Incredible work at Parliament w/ Ruth Jones MP + Four Paws calling for a fur import & sales ban. The fur trade is cruel to animals, a risk to public health and a nightmare for the environment. Let’s end it. #FurFreeBritain 🦊 🇬🇧

Q: What are farrowing crates? 🐖
A: A metal cage mother pigs are kept in for 5 weeks every time they give birth to piglets. They severely restrict movement, she can’t even turn around. Approx 200,000 pigs p.a suffer like this in U.K. Sign HSI/UK’s petition: hsi.org/TheCrateEscape

One of the most depressing issues I work on at Humane Society International is the Gadhimai animal sacrifice festival in Nepal. 10s of 1000s of animals beheaded in front of each other. My HSI India colleagues are preparing to deploy to the Indo-Nepal border to save as many as possible. No words.

Safe at last. Today HSI’s animal rescue team saved 16 dogs from a dog meat restaurant in Dong Nai, Vietnam that we are helping transform to a paint + gas cylinder store. Ending the #dogmeattrade is better for human health & animal welfare.

Excited that tomorrow our charity Humane Society International will be rescuing dogs from a #dogmeat restaurant & slaughterhouse in Vietnam. With our support, the owner is switching to selling paint & gas cylinders!

Every time you choose a #PlantBased meal over one containing meat, fish, eggs or dairy, you’re helping to create a kinder world for farmed animals. ❤️
