Were delighted to join the Eurogroup for Animals conference in Brussels this week (even in 35‑degree heat)! We always leave inspired by the incredible work happening from member organisations, and driven to help build a Europe that truly cares for animals. When we work together, animals win. 👏

Cruelty to wild animals has no place in Scotland. Together we can end the guga hunt. Act now ➡️ https://secure.onekind.org/page/191891/data/1

This is no life for a wild animal. Parrots are highly intelligent and social animals that belong in the wild. 🦜 📢 Join us in calling for an end to the keeping of wild animals as “pets” in Scotland. Sign our Don’t Pet Me petition ➡️ https://secure.onekind.org/page/168085/petition/1

Wild baby birds. Taken from their nests. “Tradition” is not an excuse for cruelty. Help end it by taking our e-action today ➡️ https://bit.ly/stopgugahunt

Chicks are captured, causing fear & distress. Some are left to starve. Others are killed with blunt force. Entire seabird colonies are affected. The guga hunt must end. 👉 https://secure.onekind.org/page/191891/data/1

Last year, 485 baby birds were killed in the guga hunt. Taken from nests and bludgeoned to death. This cruelty is outdated—and it must end. Take action 👉 https://secure.onekind.org/page/191891/data/1

We were quoted in The Herald last week against the guga hunt. Scotland should be moving forward on wild animal welfare — not defending outdated practices that cause suffering.

Wild animals are paying the price for the exotic pet trade. Sign our petition to introduce a permitted list of animals that CAN have their needs met in domestic environments — and help end the keeping of wild animals as pets ➡️https://secure.onekind.org/page/168085/petition/1

NatureScot has confirmed a new licence application for this year’s cruel guga hunt. We’ll soon submit a detailed report outlining serious animal welfare concerns—and will keep pushing for the legal change needed to end this hunt for good. 📣 Let's hear more from OneKind CEO Jason Rose.

Removing baby birds from their nests and clubbing them to death is cruel and needless. Human presence in the colony can cause wider stress and disruption. Causing suffering cannot be excused by tradition. @onekind.org is submitting evidence to NatureScot to persuade them not to grant a licence. ❤️🦆

A new Parliament is on the horizon, bringing new opportunities for animal welfare. 🐾 Some of our key animal welfare asks have been reflected in party manifestos—and we’ll be working to ensure these commitments turn into real action. Let’s hear from Kirsty, our Director of Policy.

The UK Government recently committed to a phase‑out and two Scottish political parties backed this change in their manifestos. Our calls are being heard. ✅ With a new Scottish Parliament now in place, we will be working hard to make sure Scotland delivers a future without farrowing cages.

A new Scottish Parliament is coming — and animals deserve strong champions 🐾 We’re calling on candidates to pledge to do more for Scotland’s animals. Email MSP candidates in your area who haven’t yet pledged👉 https://secure.onekind.org/page/177898/action/1

What have Scotland's political parties promised for animals? 🐖🐕🐒 🔎 We’ve examined what parties say about animals and how closely their commitments match the asks set out in our OneKind manifesto, shared with parties across the political spectrum over the past year.

Scots care about wildlife — and want stronger protections 🐒 As the Scottish elections approach, MSP candidates must commit to doing More for Scotland’s Animals. 👉 Take action: https://secure.onekind.org/page/177898/action/1

📢 Animal welfare is a mainstream political issue. Scots care deeply about animal welfare and will expect the next Parliament to reflect this and enact meaningful changes to better the lives of animals across Scotland. 🐖🐕🦡 We will make sure that animals aren’t left out of the conversation.

In the last session of the Scottish Parliament we secured a: ✅ Greyhound racing ban ✅ A ban on snares But there’s more to do. Let's make Scotland a place where every animal is freed from suffering ➡️https://www.onekind.org/bring-about-a-scotland-where-every-animal-is-freed-from-suffering
