Animal Aid have a campaign against jump racing right now and are asking people to write letters to the ITV and BBC to pull the coverage from their channels:

https://www.animalaid.org.uk/the-issues/our-campaigns/horse-racing/ban-jump-racing/

It does ask for a UK address if you access it off the above page, however for those outside the UK I know that at least ITV has a racing specific Twitter, IG and Facebook pages that you can drop comments on (there's a video on the Animal Aid page or you can share https://www.horsedeathwatch.com/ for example): https://twitter.com/itvracing https://www.instagram.com/itvracing/ https://www.facebook.com/racingitv/

Thanks in advance to anyone that takes part or shares!

I am conducting a study to look at how social media is affecting our ability to stand up for our rights and engage in activism. This is more important than ever with the level of disregard our governments have for animal rights.

Previous studies have shown that people who engage in online activism are less likely to engage in conventional or high-risk activism. This is concerning as conventional and high-risk activism has been shown to lead to greater meaningful change than online activism.

The study itself is very straightforward and only takes 10 minutes to complete.

It consists of three questionnaires and will require you to provide the number of hours you spent on social media in the previous full week.

Feel free to scroll past, but if you do participate or share this study it would be much appreciated.

When AFA submits our language --- Senators and House Reps need to hear from voters that they align with what we are asking for. It's a huge part of centralizing our voice.

We created an instruction sheet for you to follow.

Reminder--- You can't just say or add themes like "end animal exploitation" in the Farm Bill. I know we want that, but it doesn't work. It will get you nowhere. Is it symbolic to say those things, yes. But, again it will get you nowhere on actual change that matters to animals.

You have to be very precise about the funding you want to add, expand, make more inclusive or set guardrails.

We input some ideas in the instruction sheet. Feel free to customize them, but a good portion of our asks are related to transitions for a multitude of crises happening, giving plant based farmers more funding and safety nets for accessibility, focusing on under-represented farmers with these funds/opportunities and reducing the favoritism and monopolized control of the livestock industry. We have many more asks, but those are the main themes.

And just a reminder, we can't do this alone. As we continue to scale, we need to ensure we can afford lobbyists to represent us in this critical fight. We urge you to consider donating to help us make real progress, and if you're already a donor, please consider sharing our work to help raise awareness. Together, we can create a more just and sustainable food system for all.

With the largest surveys on the topic ( such as this one ) showing that Documentaries are one of the, if not the single biggest thing convincing people to go Vegan, I was wondering if there are any Vegan NGOs that focus speifically on creating these Documentaries?

I know that Farm Transparncy Project / Aussie Farms have created Lucent and Dominion, Earthling Ed / Surge have created Land of Hope and Glory and Shawn Mendes who has created Earthlings, but I cannot find any info if any of them are currently working on creating further Animal Rights Documentaries.

If any of you know about upcoming AR Documentaries, please share, I want to donate towards more such Documentaries being made. Thanks!

Please stop continued animal abuse at the hands of Maria Borell.

Breeders Cup-winning 'trainer' of the horse Runhappy, Maria Borell will be facing her 43 counts of animal abuse in her upcoming pre-trial in KY on May 18th. We can't let her get away with this or let the memory of this atrocity fall between the cracks.

Contact the Kentucky prosecutor and make sure he holds her accountable and pays for her terrible crimes against animals. Ted Dean (859) 734-6320
