Take action for game birds

Today, 1 October, the pheasant shooting season commences. 
 
Every year, around 50 million pheasants and partridges are purpose-bred for the shooting industry. Animal Aid wants a ban on the production of birds for ‘sport’ shooting. 

But, as an important interim measure, we are campaigning for an end to the battery cages in which thousands of ‘game' birds used for egg production are incarcerated.

Please share our film which shows the appalling conditions to which breeding partridges and pheasants are subjected.

Join our call for mandatory CCTV in slaughterhouses in Wales

Thank you to everyone who has joined us in urging the Welsh Government to introduce independently-monitored, mandatory CCTV for all Welsh slaughterhouses. The need for CCTV is more than demonstrated by the shocking findings of our recent investigation. Nearly 3,000 people have now taken action – the message is loud and clear!

If you haven’t already, please join our call. Thanks!

Lidl to introduce new vegan labelling!

Following an internal review, and Animal Aid’s #MarkItVegan campaign, Lidl has confirmed that it is to introduce a new vegan logo in the next couple of months. This now means that all major UK supermarkets have committed to clear and consistent vegan labelling, with most of them already rolling it out.

Clearly labelling products as 'suitable for vegans' in some way has a host of benefits. Firstly, it enables those of us who avoid animal products entirely to easily find which products are vegan. Secondly, it helps non-vegans realise how many delicious vegan options there truly are to choose from.

We are really, really close to our 250,000 signature goal!
