Yesterday, the voices of over 100,000 passionate animal champions united as the #TimeForChange Coalition delivered their petition demanding stronger protections for animals from hunting with dogs to 10 Downing Street. 👏 We are sending the clear message that❗️animals deserve better❗️

A huge day for #animalwelfare in Wales! Greyhound racing is set to be banned 🐶 Wales would be the first nation in the UK to make this historic move. Now, we need to see the rest of the nations follow suit!

Revolutionary meat treats for dogs are now available 🐶❗️ Cultivated or lab-grown meat has the potential to radically reduce the number of animals suffering on factory farms in the long run. We're intrigued to see where it could go! 👀 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Huge news from our BEAR SANCTUARY Ninh Binh, Bear Chinh is no longer lonely! 💕 Rescued from a bear farm in Vietnam last year, Chinh now shares an enclosure with Tin ad Tai, two bears that were also rescued from the same bear farm. We are thrilled to see them enjoying their forever home fully. 🌳🐻

#BreakingNews! Cruelty is out, compassion is in ❤️ High street icon New Look supports an end to live lamb cutting! New Look joins 90 other brands who signed a Brand Letter of Intent as part of our Wear it Kind campaign, calling for an end to cruel live lamb cutting and more compassion in fashion.

#BreakingNews! 42 MPs and Peers have signed a joint, cross-party letter to DEFRA Secretary of State calling for government backing for a fur import and sale ban.🦊 It’s time for a #FurFreeBritain - for the animals and for our health. 👉 www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Before his rescue, Riku was kept in a small shed near his owner's house in Albania. He lived in constant panic, trying to break out of the chains he was kept in. For Riku, this first hibernation is a symbol of his recovery and a new beginning in his life at BEAR SANCTUARY Belitsa.🍀

Every animal matters. We are devastated to see such a dramatic increase in hunting trophy imports into the UK last year. It is a stain on our nation. It’s time to #EndTrophyHunting! Thank you Nada Farhoud and @mirror.co.uk for campaigning to end this cruelty. 👉 www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

#BreakingNews‌ Director of the Cat Survival Trust in Welwyn, Terrence Moore, has been banned from keeping animals after being found guilty of multiple animal welfare offences. Animals were found living in squalor, suffering from diseases. Some had died from illnesses that could have been prevented.💔

Drop a 🌱 below if you are taking part in #Veganuary this month! It’s hard not to be intrigued with all of the new, delicious sounding offerings from some of our favourite food outlets like Greggs and Wahaca. Which one would you most like to try? 😋👉 bit.ly/4jwsCOc

Killing as population control is cruel & ineffective. We call on Morocco's decision makers to implement measures, such as the CNVR method. The idea that any stray animal should be killed to 'clean up' streets is utterly abhorrent. FIFA must speak. Turning a blind eye makes them complicit.

Thankfully, after decades of campaigning, British live exports were banned last year, however the EU must catch up. Here’s just one example why ➡️ bit.ly/3CsVF4y #StopTheTrucks 🚚

Todays shopping list: Baguette 🥖 Strawberries 🍓 Tomatoes 🍅 A world where animals are treated with respect, empathy and understanding? 🙏🏼 What’s on yours?

Factory farms distracting everyone from their cruelty and climate impact. We think Linda does a better job as a Traitor, tbh. Together, we can stop the *real* traitors. Stand up for truth, stand up for animals. 🐖🐄🐓 www.bit.ly/FPUK-Newsletter #TheTraitors #EndFactoryFarming

How is this for some lovely news 👇 Sun bear cub Anuk is thriving in her new home! 🐻🌳 Rescued from illegal wildlife trafficking in Vietnam, Anuk was in a critical state when she arrived at BEAR SANCTUARY Ninh Binh. 💔 However, the dedication of the on-site team has paid off.

When Bear Vini arrived at BEAR SANCTUARY Prishtina in 2013, the trauma he had experienced in a tiny cage as a restaurant bear was apparent 🐻💔. But now, he spends his time happily foraging for food or playing with enrichment. We are so proud of his progress ❤️

Bear Brumca was separated from her mother at just a few weeks old. Forced to live alone in a cramped shed as a pet.💔 Back in 1998 we successfully rescued Brumca and transferred her to our BEAR SANCTUARY Arbesbach 🌳 where she has been living her happiest life ever since! 💞🐻

This #Veganuary, you have the power to challenge the system! In factory farms mothers are separated from their calves mere hours after birth. Instead of feeding their offspring, their milk goes into dairy production. 🐄💔 Take a stand. Pledge to #LiveKinder ➡️ bit.ly/MeatReductio... #AnimalWelfare

The future of food must be kinder to animals, the planet and our health. We all know that we must #EndFactoryFarming. Many people do not want to support the suffering of animals. But what can you do about it? Is lab grown meat the way forward? Here's what we know 👉 bit.ly/405P48f

Dog Hellcho was found lying on the ground, unresponsive and covered in bite marks 💔. We rushed him to our Bankya clinic for stray animals, where it took a full two days of treatment before he managed to stand again. Thankfully, he has completely recovered and has now found his forever home ❤️.

Last week at our #FurFreeBritain event in Parliament, the British Fashion Council announced that London Fashion Week is banning the use of exotic skins in collections 🐍🐊. We can't wait for the day when the only way is to #WearItKind!

Pet mutilations like ear cropping are still widespread despite such cruel procedures being illegal. Why? Import of animals that have already had these procedures is still legal. To end the abuse we must shut down the import loophole. I'm introducing legislation to do just that. #PuppySmugglingBill
