#Rabbit body language is very difficult to read. People often don't know when they're in pain; including very dedicated owners and #vets. Read my recent blog on signs of pain in rabbits https://t.co/e5iIpqM6Y6 @RSPCA_official @rabbitawareness @RabbitRWAF @PDSA_HQ @PetsatHome

'One of our rescue centres currently has five dogs in its care, all with callously cropped ears and various related health & behaviour problems as a result.'

Kirsty Withnall shares why @RSPCA_official is backing the #CutTheCrop campaign. #FlopNotCrop

If you’re thinking about releasing #SkyLanterns, look at this photo. Then consider if you want to be responsible for setting fires, putting lives in danger, killing wildlife, damaging property. #ClapForTheNHS #ClapForCarers #ClapForKeyWorkers x Pls DON’T release #FlamingLitter

What's the difference between a stolen bicycle & a stolen dog? Bicycle theft is recognised as an offence in itself, dog theft is not. It's no joke! Please SIGN & RT this NEW petition if you think #PetTheft should be a specific offence 🐾https://t.co/NWdbNwjKkd @rickygervais

Help us tackle the illegal wildlife trade!

Did you know the trade is perpetuated on social media? Videos & photos on social media normalise unnatural behaviour in primates. Don't press like or share, but please do save this infographic to help us educate others.

Distressing video on original tweet; #BeKind to yourself.
Like wth😭😡🤬This is wrong on MANY levels. Wild animals should NOT be in circuses. Prey and predator species shouldnt be together esp 🐯/🦁sat on 🐴.the cats 🦷 must’ve been removed(usually violently)tho it saved the🐴

Why do people have to be so selfish? The facts given on #SevenWorldsOnePlanet is just devastating. The piles of #elephant 🐘 tusks confiscated in a yr was heartbreaking 😢#ClimateCrisis #poaching #poachers. Hard to watch but necessary education ppl must see

[Animal Welfare Matters @AnimalWMatters]

Watching the Aus 🇦🇺 ep of #sevenworldsoneplanet. Budgies fly up to 300 miles daily, a huge feat for such a tiny bird. As #pets many are in cages with an area of approx 0.5m^2 and less that 0.5m high 😞👎. Some have a mirror though... #animalwelfare

A dark day for life on earth as Japan begins commercial whaling - not that they haven’t been slaughtering whales for years - but this is a very ugly backward step against the growing global belief that it’s time to love life : all life . https://t.co/IlucwDrwV6

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

Can I please ask why campaigning against 1) the illegal killing of raptors 2) illegal fox hunting 3) pesticides which are human carcinogens 4) poor animal husbandry and 5) a scientifically invalid badger cull makes me an ‘enemy’ of the countryside ? Just plain weird .

😢🐋Really hope they find out the reason why so many of these majestic #marine beauties have washed onto the shore; not just #France needs to look into it but at very least the surrounding countries, and ideally worldwide 🌍 to hunt down cause #animalwelfare #dolphins @WWF

[Bloomberg Originals @bbgoriginals]

At least 1,100 dead dolphins have washed up on France's shores since January. It's unclear what's causing the spike in deaths

@Dr_Dan_1 @rickygervais @SAMPAuk_ @DoglostUK @PeterEgan6 @ChrisGPackham @DeborahMeaden @BellaLack @jk_rowling @Harry_Styles @AleshaOfficial @AmandaHolden This should make me mad but it actually just put me on the verge of tears. What sort of person does this? They need to be found and prosecuted.

This is Wilma. She was stolen during a break-in. Days later Wilma was found with a noose around her neck, hanging lifeless on the gate outside the family home. Her family are devastated 💔 Please SIGN & RT to help get #JusticeForWilma @rickygervais https://t.co/dcSdis0R3r

Killing peacocks for fun is legal in some countries.

Killing wolves for fun is legal in some countries.

If you’re against killing animals for fun, tell the politicians in your country and RT
