They say banning trail hunting will mean thousands of hounds have to die.
But they already kill them.

Our hidden camera footage shows hunt staff tossing the bodies of healthy dogs into skips like rubbish. Routinely. Casually.

Britain is a nation of animal lovers. These people aren't.

The government is consulting on a ban right now, but it closes on the 18th of June. Five minutes of your time could end this for good.

The Fire Brigades Union has made a statement on the proposed EHRC Code of Practice on Services.

Our message is clear. Equality matters, solidarity is essential, and we will continue to fight for both.

I live in Ince. This utter weapon is spewing nothing but hate and lies. It’s NOT a mosque, it’s a community centre that includes a small prayer room, amongst other things (such as a foodbank). Take your disgusting racism @RobKenyonReform and fuck off out of my constituency.

[Hunt Saboteurs Association @HuntSabs]

It should have been consigned to the history books long ago, but loopholes and exemptions within the current Hunting Act are being exploited, and as a result, wildlife is still dying.

Hunts have had over 20 years to abide by the law. Instead they have continued to terrorise wildlife and rural communities and enough is enough.

The government consultation into banning 'trail hunting' will close in 3 weeks. To end hunting you must speak up, you must complete the consultation and you must be the voice for the voiceless.

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

A bricklayer in East Yorkshire has spent 35 years putting up barn owl nest boxes on weekends. This year, the region saw 308 owlets hatch.

His name is Robert Salter. He's 56 and does bricklaying full time. In 1990, he saw a piece on the news about a man in Lincolnshire installing barn owl boxes, and decided he'd do the same. He started with five.

He now has more than 350 boxes scattered across fields, farms, outbuildings, and trees in East Yorkshire. Every June, he takes four weeks off from bricklaying and visits them with his wife Sue. Scrambling up ladders, ringing chicks, cleaning boxes, repairing the ones the weather got to. He's a licensed bird ringer for the British Trust for Ornithology.

In 2024, the region ringed 95 owlets. In 2025, the count was 308. The Barn Owl Trust says that nationally, this year was "pretty poor" for barn owl breeding, but east Yorkshire is the exception, and it's the exception because of one man with a ladder.

The barn owl population in the UK was estimated at 4,000 pairs in the mid-2000s and crashed to roughly 1,000 by the early 2010s. The species is still recovering.

Most of conservation is one person who refuses to give up.

[Moorland Association @MoorlandAssoc]

🪶 A dog doesn't need to make contact to kill a brood.

A hen pheasant freezes when threatened, trusting her drab plumage to keep her invisible. It works against the predators she co-evolved with. It doesn't work against a curious dog moving back and forth across her patch of grass.

In high-footfall areas, dogs off leads are now one of the greatest threats to ground-nesting birds. Flushing a hen, scattering chicks, or repeated disturbance during brooding is enough to end a breeding attempt.

Under the CRoW Act, a short lead is the law on much of the moor.

Short lead. Big difference.

Happy Bank Holiday! Here's a tongue-in-cheek parody song about @Nigel_Farage accepting a massive gift from a cryptocurrency billionaire and then hiding from a BBC interview - to the iconic tune of the legendary @The_Proclaimers. We're calling it: "Five Million Quid" 💰🤑💰🤑💰🎶

Absolute bombshell. Respected Jewish Rabbi Herschel Gluck completely shatters the establishment narrative. He confirms more British Jews march for Palestine pro-rata than any other group. He declares banning these protests is an actual antisemitic attack on the Jewish community.

'Normal' is not a justification. It's an excuse.
Like this post if you agree change is not just necessary, it's possible.
