.@RSPCA_official @RSPCA_PATeam this weekend I was prevented from breastfeeding my baby in one of your charity shops. I've tried to engage with the store manager but they refuse to recognise the UK Equalities Act. Please help.

Destruction of nature almost certainly played a role in the COVID-19 pandemic. As environments are degraded, people are brought increasingly into contact with new pathogens.

We must put the protection & #restoration of nature at the heart of recovery on #WorldEnvironmentDay.🧵1/

My daughter needs a life-saving operation – please consider sharing this fundraiser or making a contribution if you can.

I know everyone has their own worries but if enough people see this I hope it will make a difference. Thank you for your time.

@bcoolsaet @raulpacheco @nealhaddaway or @AChausson maybe have some advice.

Where giraffe populations are threatened it is due to war & bushmeat poaching, not legal trade which is reliant on healthy giraffe populations in southern Africa. Simplistic pieces like this disinform, distract & are a disservice to conservation efforts. https://t.co/deAjxA9ihD
