This month we have a new video to share with you, featuring older vegans. We are
also hiring a Head of Campaigns, and have some lovely autumnal treats in
our online shop. Read on...

IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO GO VEGAN: VEGANS IN THEIR 70S TELL THEIR VEGAN STORIES
Michael, Sara and Rosemary are vegans who are all in their 70s. In this video
they discuss their reasons for going vegan, what their journey to veganism was
like and why they think that age shouldn’t be a barrier to going vegan.

IS YOUR MP ONE OF THE 93?
EDM 291 calls for an end to the use of animals in warfare experiments. The EDM
has been signed by 93 MPs, but it would be wonderful if even more MPs showed
their support for this very important issue.
Please take a moment to ask your MP to support the EDM:

MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR GAME BIRDS
Today marks the start of the pheasant shooting season, and the killing of
millions of defenceless birds for so-called sport.
You can take action against the shooting industry by signing and sharing our petition
to ban the cruel cages which are used to imprison pheasants and partridges who are
used for breeding purposes.

KEEP UP THE PRESSURE TO BAN THE WHIP
Thank you to everyone who has written to their MP, asking them to support our
campaign to ban the whip. So far, 85 MPs have signed an Early Day Motion backing
our campaign.
Please take a few minutes to send a message to your MP, or if you have already done
so, please ask friends and family to take action.

DEMAND LEGAL RECOGNITION OF ANIMAL SENTIENCE!
Despite previous promises, the UK government has failed to introduce legislation
recognising the sentience of animals – with just under 100 days to go until the
end of the UK’s transition period for leaving the EU, the law must change in
order to afford them better protection (as EU legislation will no longer apply).
Please tweet your MP with our graphic and ask them to support a #BetterDealForAnimals.

ANIMAL FARMING IN THE EU PRODUCES MORE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS THAN ALL CARS
AND VANS, ACCORDING TO REPORT
A new report from Greenpeace – Farming For Failure – shows that animal farming
in the EU accounts for 17% of all EU emissions. When these direct and indirect
emissions are calculated, the total annual emissions of EU livestock farms are
equivalent to 704 million tonnes of carbon dioxide.

ANIMAL AID CHRISTMAS FESTIVALS CANCELLED
It is with a heavy heart that we have taken the decision to cancel this year’s
Christmas Festivals in Exeter and London. The current Covid-19 situation means
that our live festivals are not possible. We have explored the option to host
an event online, but feel that this was not a workable replacement.
We will miss seeing you this year, but sincerely hope that in 2021 we can once
again welcome you to the Christmas Festivals.
