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.

86 million, 608 thousand+ animals slaughtered.

 

225 thousand+ cattle
1 million, 425 thousand+ sheep
958 thousand+ pigs
84 million, 100 thousand+ “poultry” birds

 

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

 

The toll of fireworks on non-humans in our communities.

Please think about alternatives.

 

 

 

The government, police and the industry working in concert to shut down campaigners.

Occasions like these demonstrate that you really couldn’t get a fag paper between authorities paid to protect animals, and those making fortunes out of enslaving and killing them.

When the vulnerable are abandoned by the law, we all have a duty to take action ourselves.

 

Disappointing to see no explicit commitment to end live exports in today’s queen’s speech. UK Govt. has pledged to consult on transport of animals.

Scotland for Animals will work to ensure any legislation includes a ban on exports for slaughter and fattening after leaving EU.
