Former Veganuary ambassador says that if you donate to animal welfare charities (like the one she now works for), it's OK to carry on eating meat.

Newsflash: it's possible to support animal rights organisations AND go vegan, at the same time...

A gamekeeper who beat a buzzard to death with a stick on a pheasant shooting estate has been fined £1215.

That's hardly much of a deterrent - he should have received a custodial sentence.

Pheasant shooting should be banned as well, so millions of other birds aren't brutally killed for 'sport' each year.

Selina thinks little lambs leap joyfully into non-halal slaughterhouses completely oblivious to their impending fate, where they're gently and peacefully put to sleep without suffering fear or pain.

I'm being sarcastic, of course. But people who focus solely on halal/kosher slaughter without also criticising the horrors of non-religious slaughter might as well believe such absurdities.

Unfortunately their argument doesn't help animals. It only serves to fuel bigotry and makes non-halal/kosher meat-eaters feel happier about their complicity in cruelty and killing.

Chris Packham gives his dogs plant-based food, and GMB viewers and Daily Mail commenters aren't happy about it.

I bet his plant-based dogs are healthier than their meat-based dogs.

The owners of Sea Life London Aquarium are considering the possible next steps for their 15 captive penguins, who are currently living "trapped in a basement without sunlight or fresh air".

One of the issues discussed during "challenging talks" with Born Free Foundation was the establishment of a penguin sanctuary to offer the birds a more suitable and naturalistic environment, incorporating natural sunlight and fresh air.

Note to self: don't walk back from the shop carrying yoghurt when the pavements are treacherously icy 🤦🏼

At least soya yoghurt doesn't smell like cow milk yoghurt...
