Footage from the Greek island of #Santorini shows that animals, many of whom have painful wounds, are still used as tourist “taxis”. Pictures show donkeys and mules on short chains in the sun without food or water. Please help them now: petauk.org/7o

Instead of being with his mother, this poor baby has been taken away at birth... and is now getting fed instead by a ROBOT. 💔 He deserves to be with his mom, not a robotic arm. 😢 This is the dystopian future we create when we consume animals and their #milk.

Thousands are calling for the Grand National to be ended after more horses died at Aintree. “Every year, horses are pushed to their physical limits over extreme distances and dangerous obstacles," says Kim Macdonald, who has started a petition calling on organisers to rethink the risks horses face at Aintree, and to prioritise their welfare. "Despite safety improvements, injuries and fatalities still occur. These animals do not choose to participate, yet they bear the risks for the sake of entertainment and profit.” x.com/ukchange/statu…

Gold Dancer died at Aintree on Friday. He was not the first. He will not be the last. The RSPCA confirmed he was the 42nd horse to die in UK racing in 2026. It is only April. Since the year 2000, 68 horses have died at Aintree alone. PETA responded by calling the Grand National Festival the Grand Massacre. Animal Aid said the words that landed hardest: Everyone who bought a ticket, placed a bet or watched the ITV coverage paid for this horse to die. The BHA pointed to a falling fatal injury rate of 0.22 percent in 2025. Animal welfare groups said that number still represents hundreds of horses dying every year for entertainment. Gold Dancer won £67,524. He was dead within minutes of crossing the line. The Grand National ran the following day.

67 horses have died during the festival since 2000. No bet is worth their lives.

A simple message. Fuck the Grand National.

A horse has just died at Aintree. Shame on all those who attended “Ladies” Day and contributed to this cruel bloodsport. RIP Gold Dancer💔💔💔💔

In a shocking revelation, Greyhound Racing Ireland admitted today that as many as 3,000 racing dogs are killed each year. It's time for this cruelty to end.

The RSPCA has stepped in and demands action and urgent improvements in the racing industry after 4 horses are killed in Cheltenham making 24 horses that have been killed in racing across the UK this year alone. independent.co.uk/sport/racing/c…

Hey @Crufts #crufts2026 just reminding you we are a nation of dog lovers . Let me know if you want a bag , because top dogging a poor animal with exaggerated features associated with discomfort and pain and a person convicted of animal abuse shows you’ve trodden right in it

Finally, a city is putting horses before tradition. In 2026, Brussels became the first capital city in Europe to ban horse-drawn carriages, choosing animal welfare over tourism and outdated customs. For years, horses were made to pull heavy carriages through busy streets, traffic, and changing weather, often working long hours under visible strain. City officials said modern alternatives exist and that entertainment should not come at the expense of an animal's health and safety. This decision marks a powerful shift toward protecting working animals from preventable stress and exhaustion. Because no animal should have to suffer for a sightseeing ride. References: Euronews...

A father who drunkenly threw his daughter’s pet kittens into the River Thames, declaring “let them die”, has been spared jail. Andrew Shephard was helping his daughter rehome the three young cats when he tipped them from a box into the water from Twickenham bridge, in south-west London, last November. As he did, he could be heard shouting “let them die” and “I want them to die”, Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court heard on Tuesday. The court heard that the 59-year-old – who previously pleaded guilty to three counts of causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal – had said he did not know “what came over me”. During his sentencing hearing, prosecutor Manisha Kukadia told the court that the police were called to “reports of a male throwing cats into the River Thames”. The incident was witnessed by members of the public, who heard Shephard say “I want them to die, let them die”. There were three kittens in total and while one was saved before it fell in, the other two were “wet and muddy” but alive when they were found by police officers. The animals were both said to be “in shock” and their temperature had dropped below 33C. The court heard the kittens belonged to Shephard’s daughter, who had given them to her father in order to help rehome them. Ms Kukadia said the defendant’s daughter was “not aware” of his actions in relation to the incident on the bridge. After the incident, Shephard spoke to police and told them “he felt bad about the situation” and had shown “remorse”. He stated he was “very drunk at the time” and had a problem with alcohol, and that his daughter could “no longer keep” the kittens.

It’s like we’ve got a tardis and have gone back in time to an ancient medieval savagery! Watching these people who are clearly not laying and following a scent trail but instead are actively hunting foxes on a Saturday morning! Help to stop fox hunting: chrispackh.am/opsmokescreen

A female Swan who fell ill and was taken to an animal hospital for treatment. This is the moment she was reunited with her partner, from whom she'd been separated for 3 weeks. Such a touching moment ❤️.
