Dear John,
 

Today marks 25 days since this year’s Festive Events Campaign launched. And once again we’re making HUGE strides to protect reindeer from exploitation at Christmas. 25 days may not seem like a lot, but we’ve achieved lots in a small amount of time.

The festive events campaign gets bigger every year as we identify new events that might pose a risk to animals used in them, and keep tabs on all the events investigated in previous years. As of today, a total of 410 events nationwide are on our radar, and every event using live animals will be contacted to receive information and education on the harm this does to the animals.

In just 25 days we have contacted 236 venues and event organisers with our joint letter. The letter is signed by 21 animal protection organisations, and is specifically targeted at those events that may be planning to use live reindeer for selfie props, parades, and cynical marketing ploys.

Every festive event you report to us will be contacted!

Thank you for your support, and for taking a stand for animal freedom!

For the animals,

Isobel McNally
Campaigns Officer
