Despite the global pandemic, two lockdowns and most of our staff currently working from home, thanks to you, we have been able to achieve a lot for animals in 2020, as you can see in this infographic.
While there is still a lot of ground for us to cover and so much animal exploitation still happening, lots of positive progress has been made. Our horse racing consultant co-authored a ground breaking paper on the whip and we conducted more investigations including at farms imprisoning breeding game birds. We also saw the number of live animal displays fall dramatically and more than 8,000 people sign an open letter about warfare experiments on animals. In addition, our amazing voluntary school speakers gave remote talks and our dedicated shop team kept sending out orders of awesome vegan goodies.
We couldn’t do what we do, if it were not for all of you – your tireless campaigning and generous donations make this progress possible.
Thank you!
