Laughably, stag hunts claim they chase deer for "research and observation", a loophole in the Hunting Act. Two hounds are allowed, so they also run relays of hounds in twos, backed by quad bikes, until the stag collapses and is shot. Defra must close every exemption, not one.

"It is incredibly heartwarming to realise just how many kind souls are still thinking of & looking out for our missing boy. It is getting harder to believe we will ever see him again or find out the truth about what happened to SHADOW."

“My contention is that grouse moor owners have turned the upland moors into a tinderbox” - my comment to the FT on how the Victorian anachronism of grouse shooting has “transformed the ecosystem for the worse”

Today we learnt that the Scottish Government don't keep their word when it comes to protecting our marine #wildlife! Permission granted for a salmon farm to be installed IN an MPA. So our question is, what exactly are they protecting? It's certainly not the dolphins! 😢🐬💔

In exactly a week, the Inglorious Twelfth begins. It's the start of grouse-shooting season, when hundreds of thousands of red grouse are shot down for sport. Moorlands have been burned and predators killed to boost grouse numbers, all so a few can shoot them for kicks.

Risso's Dolphins here in Shetland on Monday inc. two individuals Floppy and Clip. Floppy has a collapsed dorsal fin and Clip (at 20s) is so called because of the indent on the dorsal fin. First 📷 in 2014 with photo ID allowing us to track subsequent movements. #MarineLife #MarineMammals #UKWildlife

Norway is getting away with (whale) murder.

Our new report reveals new findings from Norway's own official whaling data and asks why Norway has largely escaped the scrutiny faced by other whaling nations.

Most dairy calves farmed in the EU spend their first weeks in small individual pens.

Calves are social, curious animals – individual pens prevent them from playing & interacting with other calves, causing fear & frustration.

Wales has cut bovine TB by over 40% since 2010, without killing a single badger. 95% of Welsh herds are now TB-free. The science doesn't back a cull; Wales's own record disproves it. Tell the Welsh Government: no badger cull.
