AWP disgusted to learn of these spikes in trees to deter #birds which we understand to be in Hanover Square, @CityWestminster #London . As our ‘nation of animal lovers’ prepares to attract visitors for the #Jubilee celebrations, such implements should be a source of great shame.

AWP is saddened but not surprised to learn of the alleged abuse of a horse by a professional & much celebrated rider. Horses are sentient beings, capable of experiencing pain & distress. As with all animals, they aren't ours to 'use' simply as we see fit.

Footage appearing to show an escaped cow apparently being rammed twice by a Surrey police vehicle is extremely distressing & has rightly caused outrage. Cows are sentient beings, capable of experiencing pain & suffering & this incident must be investigated

AWP is delighted that daily horse-racing tips will cease to be included in BBC Radio 4's 'Today' prog @BBCr4today . Last year 176 horses died on UK tracks. Time to stop lending this 'sport' legitimacy. The commercial racing of horses & dogs must end.

AWP deeply saddened at all fox killings this week inc. those killed by hunts & in urban back gardens. Foxes are sentient beings with a right to life. Where law has been broken those responsible must be brought to justice. We must create a society that values & respects all life.

Border restrictions have forced those fleeing #Ukraine to contemplate leaving beloved companion animals behind. Bravo to border & non-border countries now relaxing rules. @DefraGovUK must follow & allow all fleeing Ukraine safe harbour- people & animals. Pls RT #StandWithUkraine

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Ian Price who died following an attack by dogs, thought to be XL Bullies, in Staffordshire. However, AWP disagrees that plans to ban the breed will be an effective solution to rising dog attacks. 1/

Humans make up just 0.01% of all life on earth. But our parliaments, assemblies, councils & decision-making bodies are almost entirely focussed on human issues. AWP believes it's time to start talking about what speciesism is & how to end it. #EndSpeciesism

Nothing to celebrate about the so called ‘Glorious 12th’. All life is precious. Our environment is precious. It’s beyond time to ban driven grouse shooting. #BanDGS #Inglorious12th 📷 Chris Walker. 🙏🏽

What kind of society would tolerate the death of 18 racehorses in 8 weeks? Turns out it's us - the 'world leader in animal welfare'. We believe racing animals for human entertainment & financial gain has no place in a civilised society. 📷 @AnimalAid

Packed together, unable to escape. A horrific life and a horrific death. Around the world, fires in intensive animal farming systems happen frequently. The humans on whose watch such tragedies occur are seldom held to account. #Driffield #EndSpeciesism

A complete re-appraisal of our relationship with companion animals is needed. Are they ours to make thousands from? to sell online? to mutilate? to be fashion accessories? AWP says no. We need education, an 'owner' licensing system & stronger legislation.

Sharks play a vital role in ocean ecosystems but humans are still killing over 100 million every year. In the UK, 50% of sharks are threatened or near threatened. Overfishing, deep sea & destructive fishing methods & the trade in shark body parts must end. #SharkAwarenessDay

⬛️ With 203 athletes dying on UK tracks in the past year, we can’t call #HorseRacing a ‘sport’. It’s quite simply animal abuse. 4 of those deaths at #Aintree - incl. #TheLongMile who died at #GrandNational last year. Time to ban the Grand National & all commercial animal racing.

Almost all exotic animals experience unnecessary suffering or inability to express normal behaviour in captivity. AWP calls for an end to the granting of licences to those involved in the exotic pet trade (with exemptions for rescue & re-homing centres).

Next time you want to buy an exotic bird, remember this photo. Better plant a tree and give lots of birds a new home. 🐦 Let's get this photo viral, please. 🙌 via Our Planet
