Whenever I hear shooting I wonder about the mentality of those who, in the 21st century, think it’s acceptable to kill sentient animals for fun. Bear & bull baiting, cock & dog fighting confined to history ages ago. Time for hunting and shooting to go the same way #AnimalWelfare

Did you see the ptarmigan on #HamzasHiddenWildIsles? 🏔️ A true master of disguise, the ptarmigan turns snow-white in winter and rock-grey in summer to blend with the Scottish Highlands. Found nowhere else in the UK, it’s a rare sight to treasure 👉 https://t.co/MtBfYbhK0X

Palestinian veterinarian Mu’ath Abu Rakba’s body was recovered today. He spent his final years treating hundreds of animals injured & starved by the Israeli siege. Israel murdered him in a designated “safe zone”. Support his legacy, Sulala Animal Rescue. RIP Dr. Mu’ath
We have same upsetting news. Our wonderful vet Mu’ath Abj Rakba tried to go back to his house in Jabalia on Friday and nobody has heard from him since. We are in touch with his wife and parents and siblings. His brother tried to go there, but unfortunately everybody who reaches

Tragic. Preventable. Final. The Slender-billed Curlew is officially extinct, declared today by the IUCN. On our watch. We are technically brilliant and carelessly blind. Sit with the silence. Then fight for what remains. #Extinction #BiodiversityCrisis #Curlews

If true, suggestions that Number 10 has blocked this vital report because they don’t want to admit, and face, the UK’s vulnerability to the growing climate & nature crises would be unforgivable. Risks don’t go away if you ignore them. They get worse.

Anything to say about this @NFUtweets ? After all the deplorable and intolerable damage done by out of control pet dogs on stock and farmers is justifiably never in dispute . But here it’s organised terror for this herd . Admit it , fox hunting is a bloody nuisance for farmers .
The Grove and Rufford Hunt aren't even pretending to lay a trail this season. They're blatantly trying to hunt foxes and that means they lost control of the hounds in this field of cows.

Bottom section of the re-wiggled burn is now connected and a new junction made with the South Esk. It already looks great - just wait a few years. Part of our @NatureScot NRF project.

"Nevertheless, inevitably it seems the powerful lairds have applied sufficient pressure for the Scottish Government to capitulate once again" You can bet that this will be addressed at REVIVE's National Conference on November 8th @RSPBScotland @JimFairlieLogie

This is deeply concerning. Govt blocks release of joint intelligence committee report into the dire and imminent national security impacts exit from climate change & biodiversity loss. What are they trying to hide? Or is it a case of ignoring it and hope it goes away like in
Govt has blocked release of a joint intelligence committee report into the dire national security impacts expected from biodiversity loss. Was going to be announced at an event with the King this week https://t.co/0c79oiGUMF

Quantock Staghounds botched the killing of this poor stag on Monday taking 2 shots to kill him after a 3 hour chase. Another day all over @nationaltrust land. Thanks to all the monitors out recording these poachers. Video report from Wildlife Guardian here https://t.co/BhLgaaFFru

I guess the Commander in Chief needs to go!
Hegseth says it’s not a good look for our military to have overweight people commanding it Hegseth: It is tiring to look out and see fat troops, likewise unexpected to see fat generals leading command, it is a bad look. Bad and not who we are.
