Take action |
Dear Jean,
Farm animals on passenger ferries
URGENT ACTION
Following a proposal by Celtic Link Ferries to open a transport route for live exports from Portsmouth to France using passenger ferries, there were attempts to get lorries carrying sheep out of Portsmouth. Although these lorries were stopped for animal health reasons, it is worrying that live exports could start any day now. | ||
Despite public and parliamentary calls to end the trade of live animals and the wealth of scientific evidence showing that animals suffer during these long journeys, Celtic Link Ferries has become the first passenger ferry company in Britain to take part in this inhumane trade since 1994. Compassion condemns the trade in live animals and asks supporters to lobby Celtic Link Ferries to change their policy and prohibit this cruel and unnecessary trade. Please send an urgent email to Celtic Link Ferries urging them to stop supporting this inhumane and unnecessary trade. | ||

The welfare of dairy cows
| | Our recent appeal on dairy cows has raised the shocking reality of the hidden suffering in the dairy industry. Scientific experts on animal health and welfare have said that cows in the European Union are bred to produce unreasonable amounts of milk and suffer from hunger, lameness and infertility. |
