WARNING: This article shows extreme animal suffering. We welcome the suspension of this farm by supermarkets & the sacking of staff involved, but more must be done to prevent a repeat occurrence. Horrendous cruelty like this must not be tolerated.

The chief culprit for the decline in bees is clear: as farming has become more intensive, the land has been doused with pesticides & habitats have been swept away.

"The purple emperor’s return is a vivid reminder that nature can rebound if given the chance.

Horrendous cruelty that should have no place in a so-called "nation of animal lovers".

Heartbreaking news from Australia. Hundreds of pigs have lost their life after a devastating barn fire. Each of these animals was a sentient being who could feel pain and joy, they would have experienced unimaginable suffering.

GOOD NEWS: Plans for a new mega farm in a Suffolk village have been refused! If it had gone ahead, it would have confined up to 100,335 broiler chickens every year.
