This friday’s live export from Ramsgate, including Scottish calves, has been postponed. It will take place on another date, please keep an eye out for our updates.

When the UK leaves the European Union at end of the month, there should be no more excuses when it comes to ending the trade.

The current government has indicated it supports a ban. It now needs to back this with action.

 

There have been reports in media that Extinction Rebellion have been added to Prevent list by Counter Terrorism Police.

It’s also being reported that the unit has now apologised and rowed back after exposure.

The document is titled “Safeguarding young people and adults from ideological extremism”. What hasn’t received the same level of publicity or outrage though, is that on page 10 animal rights campaigning is also listed as an extremist ideology.

 

Thank you to everybody who has supported us over the past year.

Without you, a hard fight would be far harder.

To all, human and non-human, slàinte mhath

 

 

Thanks to everybody who stood shoulder to shoulder at our protest against live exports.

The Scottish Government are giving this heinous trade their full backing. Join us in bringing it to an end.

 

 

 

 

115 million, 354 thousand+ animals slaughtered.

 

274 thousand+ cattle
1 million, 456 thousand+ sheep
1 million, 24 thousand+ pigs
112 million, 600 thousand+ “poultry” birds

 

Does not include other species such as deer, goats, horses, “game birds”, aquatic animals or animals exported for killing.

 

 

89 million, 298 thousand+ animals slaughtered.

 

 

 

SfA will be protesting against live exports at Saughton House, Edinburgh on 13th December from 12 noon.

Scotland’s a major player in the live exports industry. Calves just weeks old are taken from their mothers, and sent into the European veal system.

The Scottish Government’s compounding this misery by allowing animals to be transported in distressing conditions.

We’re working with colleagues across Europe to end the trade, come along and lend your voice.

 

 

UK elections will be held on 12^th December, and we believe where a candidate stands on animals is a strong test of their fitness to hold office.

In Westminster, Scottish MPs will be in a position to vote on animal issues which are currently not devolved. A few points you can put to candidates include whether they will support;

 

A Ban on the public sale of fireworks

An independent inquiry into the efficacy of using animals in research

A ban on the use of animals in military/ Ministry of Defence tests

A ban on live exports for slaughter or fattening

Scrapping of VAT on veterinary treatment

 

Please keep in mind that Scottish MPs may also vote on matters applying to animals in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. As a result, please also ask them to provide details of what they would do to protect the rights/ welfare of animals in general.

 

We’ve compiled a list of candidates for your constituency below. Contact details will be available online.
