Animal Aid

Save the Windermere Geese

There are reports that the Lake District National Park Authority plans to kill 200 of the 1000 Canada geese who reside at Lake Windermere. The birds are blamed for ‘polluting’ the lake and causing ‘environmental damage’ as they graze. Animal Aid will fight this cull and has started a correspondence with the Authority.

Please help us by emailing the Authority to tell them that the planned cull is unethical, unnecessary and must be stopped.

Make Quorn Vegan

Last year, Quorn produced a vegan burger for its US market. The company is considering introducing vegan products to its UK range, but wants to know that there is a demand for them. Please contact Quorn and let them know that you’d like to see them veganise all or part of their range.

Save the Brown Hares! EDM 2531

Adrian Sanders MP has tabled an EDM calling for a close season on the shooting of brown hares on behalf of the Hare Preservation Trust (HPT). While Animal Aid and the HPT both want to see an end to the shooting of all hares, a close season would spare the lives of countless leverets who currently starve if their parents are killed. At the moment there is no close season and hunters can kill hares throughout the breeding season.

Please contact your MP and ask him/her to sign EDM 2531.

Protest the sale of fur

A supporter has contacted Animal Aid after discovering jackets with real fur trim being sold in a new True Religion store in Covent Garden. The brand’s website confirms that they use raccoon fur. Please politely contact the store and urge them to stop selling all items that use real fur:
