Dear John,

Right now, reindeers in their hundreds are being lined up for a winter of suffering.

Event organisers around the country are booking cruel companies who 'hire' out animals like props, to appear at events in shopping malls, city centres, Christmas markets and on high streets. All in the name of human entertainment.

Money is paid for these animals to be shipped around the UK, to be used as objects in festive events. And as a result animals are suffering.

They may be dressed up with tinsel and bells at these events. But for the animals it is far from a happy celebration. Reindeers, penguins, camels, owls and other animals are living, breathing individuals. Not objects for humans to dress up!

That is why, with your help we are once again fighting to end this cruel industry and get animals to safety. John, will you make a donation of £10 or more to our appeal, to make sure we can fight to end animal cruelty this Winter? ([link removed])

We may be some weeks away from the festive season, but the exploitation of animals for festive 'entertainment' has definitely already begun.

As the Festive Events campaigner, I have conducted research to find out exactly how many events are using live animals this Christmas. I was hoping that Covid may have deterred venues like shopping centres and city centres from holding events with animals this year. I was deeply disappointed to see that I was wrong.

Already I have located events taking place up and down the UK using animals at garden centres, Christmas markets, Christmas light ‘switch-on’ events, some even in pub gardens. The animals lined up to ‘entertain’ at these events include reindeers, birds of prey, donkeys, horses, goats and other small animals.

That is why I am emailing you today, to ask you to please send an urgent donation. ([link removed]) We need to take action NOW to help these animals, who are facing a winter of suffering.

These events may be fun for us humans but for animals the hustle and bustle is incredibly stressful.

Worst of all, the animals have no chance of escape.

Penned into their cages and enclosures, they have to endure the crowds, people peering in, reaching to touch them, the bright lights and loud noises.

Just like the animals used in circuses, these animals are being degraded and exploited.

I know that you are very strongly against animal circuses and will take action to end them once and for all. So will you do the same today for these animals, also suffering for human enjoyment?

One of these awful events is taking place at Tamworth Snowdome. It's a huge indoor leisure venue with an ice skating rink, ski slopes, gym and event space. And this winter, they are bringing animals into one of the largest Christmas events I have found.

Animals are front and centre as part of the ‘entertainment’ on offer for visitors. Promotion boasts that visitors can “get close and personal with Santa’s furry animal friends as you explore the animal area”. This area is directly next to a large traditional carousel, a ride with loud music and bright lights. This event is running for two months, and is open almost every day. How can they hope to ensure any kind of animal welfare in an environment like that?

We can’t let this go ahead! Will you help us fight for these animals? Your donation sent with urgency today will be put to work straight away. Animals are not ours to exploit for entertainment! ([link removed])

The season of suffering may be drawing closer but we have a chance now to take action, to cancel those events already planned and work to free animals from this cruel industry. Your action today can make that happen.

For the animals,

Isobel McNally
Festive Events Campaigner, Freedom for Animals
