Helping Them

For decades our planning system has protected much loved places from harmful development. The Government’s reforms turn this on its head, using it as a tool primarily to promote economic growth instead.
Please sign the following petition by the National Trust and please encourage as many people as you possibly can to do exactly the same thing:

Please sign E-Petition calling for these proposals to be scrapped:

Princes: Tinned tuna’s secret catch from Greenpeace UK on Vimeo.

Princes sells about one-third of the tinned tuna in the UK, but it has come last in our tinned tuna league table.

That’s because to catch tuna, Princes uses one of the worst fishing methods around, catching sharks and turtles, and possibly even dolphins in its nets.

Tell Princes to change their tuna and move to more turtle-friendly (not to mention shark-friendly) fishing methods.

Following an outbreak of Foot & Mouth disease in South Korea, the authorities have refused to have animals vaccinated and are instead doing a mass cull. Slaughtered humanely? No! They’re burying them alive!

Factory dairy farms subject their animals to all kinds of cruelty. The cows are fed growth hormones to increase milk production. Their tails are cut off without anesthesia so they won’t contact auto-milking machines. The poor animals are artificially inseminated continuously. To top it if, they endure all of this in small, filthy disease-ridden stalls.

Now, the UK’s Nocton Dairy wants to create the largest factory dairy in that country — at least 4,000 cows. Shockingly this is only half the number of cows Nocton would like to house.

Public outcry forced the dairy to shrink its original plans, but even this is unacceptable.

We only have until January 11 to tell the North Kesteven District Council to stop this large-scale cruelty. Add your voice — urge the Planning Director to reject permits for Nocton’s super dairy.

A WSPA investigation has revealed that one of Christmas’ most popular symbols, the reindeer, is subjected to huge cruelty as they are rounded up, transported and slaughtered for their meat in Sweden and Finland.

The recent WSPA video footage clearly shows the suffering inflicted on whole herds of reindeer, showing in distressing detail the extreme suffering experienced at every stage of the largely commercial process.

WSPA is cautioning viewers – the suffering visible in the video is not easy to watch, especially for those that care about animals.

Help Stop the US Army From Mutilating and Killing Animals

The military authorities in US still haven’t learnt from opposition to other countries using Animals in warfare experiments The U.S. Army is once again applying for a permit to cut apart and kill animals in cruel and crude trauma training exercises in the district of Oberpfalz (Bavaria, Germany), even though the Army’s first application was withdrawn because of overwhelming public opposition to the plan. Its second application was also recently denied because officials said that the animal laboratories would violate Germany’s animal protection law, since effective non-animal methods are available for use in the training instead.

What is wrong with these people . If they must use live “animals” Why not use Human Animals? Why not use some of the thousands of death row prisoners, who at least will be serving a useful purpose, instead of keeping them locked up for up to 50 or 60 years and save some money that way as well

Help us stop dangerous oil drilling in the Arctic
Edinburgh-based company Cairn Energy is actively drilling in the Arctic and holds eight oil exploration licenses off western and southwestern Greenland right in the middle of the Davis Straits – better known as ‘iceberg alley’. Companies like Cairn and BP are desperate to pursue the last drops of oil on Earth, even if that means risking our environment and climate in the process.

Nestle have tried to ban this spoof advert and you tube has removed it because it ” contravenes Nestle’s copyright”

Nestlé, maker of Kit Kat, uses palm oil from companies that are trashing Indonesian rainforests, threatening the livelihoods of local people and pushing orang-utans towards extinction.

We all deserve to have a break – but having one shouldn’t involve taking a bite out of Indonesia’s precious rainforests. We’re asking Nestlé to give rainforests and orang-utans a break and stop buying palm oil from destroyed forests.
