STAND UP FOR NON-NATIVE ANIMALS
The government has recently launched a consultation to investigate opinions on
non-native wildlife, and actions they should take.
Many of the proposals by the government are shocking, and suggest wide-ranging
culls of ‘non-native species’. Please take the opportunity to speak up for these
persecuted animals, and also speak out against the changes that will make it
illegal to rescue and release grey squirrels.
Read our handy online guide to help you submit a response:

CALLING ALL STUDENTS! ORDER OUR NEW VEGAN STUDENT SURVIVAL GUIDE!
As the new academic year draws closer, Animal Aid has produced a new guide aimed
at helping students who are already vegan or want to go vegan. It features lots
of useful information including shopping tips, cheap and easy recipes,
nutritional information and tips and advice from former and current students and
chef and campaigner Jack Monroe.
They are of course free, so if you are already vegan, or want to give it a try
and are a student, why not order one?

DARE WE MENTION THE C WORD…?
It’s only the beginning of September but event organisers are turning their attention to
Christmas. We want to continue to encourage local councils to move away from hosting
events using live animals such as reindeer, camels and penguins.
Have your heard about any planned events that will feature live animals?
Please let us know by emailing
[email protected]. Thanks!
