Team fox

by

In case you didn’t know, the Prime Minister is leading the charge to relax laws governing fox hunting.

Read this and feel outraged.

The vote to relax these laws which will allow the widespread harassment and murder of foxes is happening within days.

It is CRUCIAL that you contact your MP and demand that they vote against any such relaxation of hunting laws.

You can visit one of the following websites that will help you contact your MP:

PeTA UK

Animal Aid

League Against Cruel Sports

Viva! Campaigns

We must work together to stop the Hunting Act from being repealed or relaxed.

I know we get asked to sign a lot of petitions and take a lot of action over the Internet and it is easy to feel swamped by information.

But I implore you to click on one of the above links and take 5 to 10 minutes out of your day to send a loud and clear message to your MP.

We need to protect foxes from cruel hunts.

Vegan palm oil

by

Palm oil continues to be one of the fiercest hot topics for vegans and people concerned with environmental protection.

It is thought of as one of the most destructive crops on the planet and many vegans staunchly refuse to purchase products containing the oil crop.

Most of this talk focusses on palm oil production in southeast Asia due to extensive deforestation associated with the industry. Opponents cite loss of habitat and death to primates on a large scale as main reasons to campaign against the crop.

During my time at the Just V Show in London this weekend, I purchased the following jar of palm oil that just happened to be labelled with The Vegan Society trademark.
