Sadly the use of #ShockCollars is still legal in #England. This CRUEL form of training causes suffering, and it's time that the UK Government followed #Wales and #Scotland to make them illegal. 10K signatures are needed, sign the petition- https://t.co/jUhqEGxHTN #BanShockCollars

BVA concerned EFRA report will delay implementation of legislation. Representing all of us when they say the report's findings - while valid - must not delay us to the point that there is no legislation made before Brexit. https://t.co/sCLC8OAlNz

Lobsters and crabs currently receive the same level of protection as a vegetable does under the Animal Welfare Act. We think that's unacceptable. So do many other leading experts and animal advocates. Read our open letter to @MichaelGove at: https://t.co/8rbztcxfhx

Thank you @firstdirect for taking action to stop promoting brachycephalic dogs in your advertising, after it was brought to your attention by #bvamember @S_Jones_1 #animalwelfare #breedtobreathe https://t.co/U5LlViI4hF

[Emily @em_il_y]

Why the Government's proposed new Animal Sentience bill - although well intentioned - is sub-standard and not fit for purpose in its current form. A must-read for all those concerned about Animal Welfare in a post-Brexit UK. https://t.co/8zUjJidNHG

[Emily @em_il_y]

@UKHomeopathyReg Also features dogs with cropped ears 😣

Another day, another brachy struggling to breathe recovering from anaesthesia after a procedure performed as a direct result of breeding. @WhiteStuffUK will you reconsider your use of models in store?

From today, our ban on #microbeads means manufacturers of cosmetics and personal care products can no longer add tiny pieces of plastic to products like face scrubs, toothpastes and shower gels. #GreenBrexit https://t.co/i40Vpdc87Z

Welcome news after many years of campaigning! The welfare needs of wild animals cannot be met within a travelling #circus, in terms of housing or being able to express normal behaviour #animalwelfare @DefraGovUK https://t.co/Az3qxso7cn via @Independent

#ObesityAwarenessWeek It can be tempting to show pets affection by giving them treats, but overfeeding can knock years off their lifetime. Worried your furry friend may be carrying a few extra pounds? Register them for #PetFitClub! https://t.co/V1haF3sWYx

8-11th January is Obesity Awareness Week. Up to 52% of UK cats are overweight/obese. @iCatCare have great resources to help you work out whether your cat is one of them, why this matters, and how you can help. They don't have to be as round as the depicted cat to have a problem! https://t.co/SQUH5MLfhp

[International Cat Care @iCatCare]

Obesity isn’t only a health issue in humans... Up to 52% of cats in the UK are now overweight or obese and so we will be promoting obesity awareness in cats during #obesityawarenessweek https://t.co/zA2MoIkNCO

PDSA are asking UK vets, RVNs and students to contribute to their pet welfare survey and share their views on the welfare issues that they believe are of the biggest concern for the veterinary profession. https://t.co/rh32CdDAvY

You may feel that a flat-faced dog looks ‘cute’, but in reality dogs with short muzzles can struggle to breathe. Join @BritishVets in their campaign to raise awareness: https://t.co/b1iiWDZjyq #BreedtoBreathe #DontIgnoretheSnore

[Emily @em_il_y]

@HSBC_UK Further to previous feedback on your ad ft. the French Bulldog: please refer to the #BreedtoBreathe campaign launched today by The British Veterinary Association. Consider removing static shots of the Frenchie. It contributes to their unhealthy explosion in popularity. https://t.co/UTkO22q3Dj
