Thank you to all MPs and Peers who have worked to end live exports in Parliament for years. And to all the orgs, campaigners and public who have tirelessly worked to end this vile trade. GB is the first in Europe to ban live animal exports & we hope other countries will introduce their own bans
Happy World Kindness Day! A reminder that every animal deserves our kindness, respect and the freedom to express their natural behaviours #WorldKindnessDay2026

The UK and EU are expected to conclude negotiations on a sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) agreement ahead of the summit on 20 November as part of the wider UK-EU reset. We believe the UK should secure an explicit animal welfare carve-out in the SPS agreement, protecting Great Britain’s live exports ban, safeguarding existing standards and allowing further animal welfare improvements

Shadow Defra Minister @DrNeilHudson talks on the tragic killing of Cecil the lion & says trophy hunting is a barbaric and outdated practice that should be consigned to the history books. “ These majestic animals should only be shot with cameras and not lethal weapons” #EndTrophyHuntingImports #CecilTheLion
Shadow Defra Minister @DrNeilHudson
thanks animal welfare organisations, including CAWF for their work on this issue.
He says Cecil the lion’s story, sadly, was not unique, and every year trophy hunters kill thousands of these precious and majestic animals around the world

Today is #RemembranceSunday A time to honour and remember all those who died in war. Also consider the millions of animals who served alongside brave men and women. Eight million horses, countless mules and donkeys died during the First World War alone #LestWeForget

I have introduced a bill to introduce compulsory labelling of halal and kosher meat.
Consumers have a right to know what they are eating. Yet every day people are consuming halal and kosher meat without knowing it - that’s meat where the animal has its throat slit and often is not stunned before slaughter.
At its heart, this is a straightforward proposal built on consumer choice, animal welfare and transparency. It is not about banning halal or kosher meat but about the compulsory labelling of it, which is currently only voluntary, so as to ensure consumers know what they are buying.
What began as a limited religious exemption has become an increasingly significant part of meat production.

🐾 I have presented my Animal Shelters (Licensing) Bill in Parliament 🏛️
The Bill will have its Second Reading on Friday 15th January 2027, aiming to strengthen standards and protections for animals in shelters
The Government have said they’ll consult maybe next year and legislate afterwards but I’m not taking any chances and determined to keep the pressure on, especially after the horrible case from my own constituency.
🐶🐱 Every animal deserves care, safety and protection. ❤️

Remember that fireworks can cause animals fear and distress. A vet who is set to spend #BonfireNight treating cattle and sheep spooked by fireworks says there is "no doubt" they suffer as much as family pets. The vet said in previous years she had treated cattle with broken legs that had jumped fences, performed caesarean sections on heifers in premature labour and rounded up an escaped herd that caused a traffic incident
