Dear John
We have launched two new campaigning initiatives – read on to find out more and
get involved!
We've also got a bumper round-up of updates on all our campaign and fundraising
activities. Thank you to everyone who has already taken part!
-----------------------------
SIGN OUR NEW PETITION!
Urge Natural England to revoke licences issued to take peregrine falcon chicks
from their nests! These licences were issued for chicks to be taken from their
nests, to be used as part of unnecessary breeding programmes for falconry. We
believe the rights of this birds to remain in their natural habitat should be
prioritised over this outdated hobby.
Please sign and share now:

ASK THE GOVERNMENT TO SUPPORT A TRANSITION TO PLANT-BASED FARMING
Animal Aid and other organisations, public figures and academics have written to
the UK Government, calling on them to support farmers in transitioning to
kinder, more sustainable farming or diversification out of animal agriculture.
(You can read the letter on our website.)
Public money should not be used to bail out such a destructive and failing
industry. We have also launched an online action. Please do lend your support to strengthen
our call [link removed].

MORE MPS BACK A BAN ON THE WHIP!
54 MPs have now signed an Early Day Motion to ban the whip in racing!
If you haven't yet, please help us to keep up the momentum, and write to your
MP straight away: [link removed]
While we would like to see an end to this cruel and exploitative 'sport', a ban
on the whip would be a major step forward for horses. Thank you for all your help.

ANIMAL AID HOME EDUCATION
Our scheme for primary school children, Animal Kind, has proved to be a great
success. Now we’ve made the resources available free to parents educating 5
to 11 year olds at home.
The film with Michaela Strachan, plus four easy to follow curriculum-linked
lesson plans, are available on the Animal Kind website:

MP – EDM – SOS
Well, it’s not really an SOS, but a polite request!
If you haven’t contacted your MP to ask them to sign EDM 291, please take a
minute to do it now, it’s simple, quick and already more than 1,600 people
have done so. We currently have 37 MPs signatures.

very much, you’re a star! 🌟

ASK THE MINISTER TO BAN GAME BIRD CAGES
Tens of thousands of partridges and pheasants are confined in cages in England.
These are the breeding birds whose offspring are used as feathered targets by
the shooting industry.
This suffering cannot continue, and we know the Minister is sympathetic to this
issue. Please contact your MP today, and urge him or her to write directly to
Zac Goldsmith, the relevant Minister.
