Animal Aid

Lidl is the only major UK supermarket to not have committed to clearly and consistently labelling their own-brand vegan products.
Please join us in asking them to #MarkItVegan by signing our petition. Help us reach 15,000 signatures!

Please watch and share Animal Aid’s new, short film, showing the suffering endured by birds in Larsen traps. We set a long-running camera filming two Larsen traps at a game farm in June, covering a period of 47 hours and 12 minutes.
Our film uses a speeded-up timer to demonstrate the amount of time the crows are left in the Larsen trap. It is not known how long they had already been in the trap, nor how much longer they were confined. What is clear, however, is that the birds were stressed, and desperate to be released.

If you haven't already done so, please consider voting for our much-loved Christmas Fayre in the #VegfestUKAwards2018. We're delighted to have been nominated in the Best Vegan Festival category.

Thank you in advance! 🙂

#peopleswalkforwildlife Such a good turn out despite the rain!

Our undercover filming has exposed one of the shooting industry's most chilling secrets. We have been able to show the shocking reality of Larsen traps - cruel devices that imprison one bird and use them to lure others of the same species, so that they can be killed. Please read, watch and share!

HUGE NEWS! Pheasant shooting will end on Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru / Natural Resources Wales land, following a campaign by Animal Aid, League Against Cruel Sports and Welsh activists.
Thank you all so much for helping us achieve this massive victory for animals!

In less than a week, more than 3,000 people have signed our petition to Parkinson’s UK – have you?
The charity has granted more than £780,000 to a project which includes experiments involving a ‘marmoset model of Parkinson’s’. Typically, to ‘model’ Parkinson’s, monkeys are injected with a compound that causes horrific symptoms including paralysis, tremors, rigidity, loss of vocalisation and a lack of coordination.

Breaking news: 15th slaughterhouse investigation reveals shocking suffering
Some people may think that small-scale slaughterhouses are more ‘humane’ for the animals. We have just carried out our 15th slaughterhouse investigation and yet again found shocking treatment of vulnerable animals. This included an animal being beaten, and another having her head shut in a metal gate. Take a look for yourselves and you decide, does this look like a compassionate way to treat animals?

Good news! We’re delighted that P&O Ferries have now stopped transporting live animals from Scotland to Northern Ireland. This is following the BBC 1 Scotland ‘Disclosure’ expose titled, ‘The Dark side of Dairy’, which showed the truth behind the live export of young two week old calves from Scotland to Southern Europe.
The statement from P&O Ferries said:
“We can confirm that P&O Ferries will cease co-operating with the Scottish Government to transport across the Irish Sea young calves destined for continental Europe with immediate effect. We place the highest priority on animal welfare across all of our routes and were shocked by the scenes in last night’s documentary. We will not hesitate to act decisively and close the account of any customer which breaches our policies in this area.”

Huge news! Waitrose has become the latest supermarket to confirm that they will be labelling their own-brand vegan products, following Animal Aid's #MarkItVegan campaign.

We love you!! We have recently married and had a baby blessing and instead of having gifts we asked for donations and you are our chosen charity. We have some funds coming your way. Thank you for all the work you do xxx

Thanks for creating awareness

Thank you so much for all you do to stop animal suffering and undermine carnism in all its vile forms. I’ve signed up as a member because you are truly effective, responsive and make a huge difference. You’ve opened my eyes to animal abuse, your brilliant resources helped me transition to a vegan way of life and are invaluable in promoting the issues to others. X

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do for our precious voiceless animals, due to Animal Aid I made the connection and went vegan after being vegetarian for many years... I can't thank you enough. I will be making my will through you so I can continue helping you and your great work 💞

Just want to thank you all for all your hard work you do to save the lives of all those poor innocent animals � Thanks for having a good heart full of love for all the animals that suffer on the hands of humans with an empty soul.

I fully support Animal Aid and all the hard work they've done. I am very proud of this charity and aim to get more involved. I like all the comments. Abbatoirs must have CCTV and an animal welfare group monitoring it. I think meat should have pictures of the killing like cigarettes have images. I don't understand how people love cat and dogs but eat cows. We are here to be the guardians of animals.

Fantastic day in Castleford Academy talking to 8 classes on Animal rights through Animal Aid. Thanks so much for giving us these opportunities <3

Excellent work you people do standing up for the voiceless animals that are being abused by the sick evil monsters that inflict such awful barbaric cruelty on them the abusers will never shut our mouths up we will speak out and expose them and campaign to our last breath

Excellent organisation who care deeply about animals and the planet. Their guide to going Vegan us filled with advice and tips is great if new to veganism like me .

Animal aid is to be supported one hundred percent. I'd also like to say When we vegans talk about dogs and cats, indeed all animals, can we all please consciously make the effort to say He or she and not ,it, Using the word 'it' denies sentience, and confirms the carnist paradigm that denies animal personhood.

Animal Aid has done so much good for dogs and cats...it's hard to rescue ...and they do all they can do with what they have. They have helped me for almost 15 yrs with TNR, sick cats and kittens. I have nothing but good things to say about them.

Animal Aid are tremendous. been a vegetarian since 14 yrs and now vegan at 72 and feel far more healthy. had bloods done recently for an eye thing and they were all perfect. i worry about all the crap being sold as food and the seeming lack of ability to cook . of course we have endless tedious propgrams about cooking but they are all about competition and regularly about meals with animals included.

A massive thank you for all of your dedication and relentless hard work that helps so many animals in need. Animal Aid is certainly at the forefront of helping animals with campaigns that make a difference. I am very proud to be a member and feel much more informed of what's actually happening to animals in different situations.

Whilst some truths. Despicable untruths about horse racing. How many horses have died in the last 5 Grand Nationals? None that is the answer but reading the posts it looks like a death watch. Be perspective in the number of horses that race ie 1000’s against those who lose their lives less than 1% whilst living in luxury yet nothing is done to highlight starving or abandoned horses left by the roadside or out in fields with no one to care. Untrained owners buying ponies without a clue how to look after them and they suffer in silence. Before you slag horse racing have a look at the real problems in the equine world then I may add my respect
