❗BREAKING: CPS drops Grand National Crown Court case after juries refused to convict horse protectors.

After three successive failures to convict Animal Rising’s supporters, the CPS has dropped our fourth upcoming Crown Court case, indicating two more trials are likely to be dropped due to the low likelihood of conviction. Three juries have now refused to convict ordinary people who took action to protect horses’ lives at the world’s most famous race, the Grand National.

THIS IS PIG FARMING 💔

From semen collection to fattening farms to slaughter, pig farming is rife with abuses. It's built on exploiting others, and that will always be wrong.

We must end ALL pig farming.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Jane Goodall.
She was a pioneer who taught the world to see animals as individuals deserving of love, respect and protection. Her legacy inspires us to continue building a kinder world for all beings 💚

Alfred Brendel

C’est une douleur sourde et profonde.
Une époque qui s’efface…
Toute une pensée, une manière rare d’habiter le monde.

Je n’ose montrer les photos que nous avons partagées.
Sa musique demeure,
et son esprit et sa malice rayonnent —
cela suffit.

Il aimait le chocolat, avec la tendresse d’un enfant. Un jour, il m’a offert la cadence du 23e de Mozart,
Écrite de sa propre main.
Un geste pur, infiniment précieux.
Un chagrin mêlé de gratitude.
Car cet héritage, si délicat, si vivant —
nous ne devons jamais le laisser s’éteindre, garder la conscience vive
des grands qui passent,
et doucement s’effacent.

Présences rares.
Disparitions immenses.
Mémoire précieuse.

Un Schubert unique, une âme unique.
