Following the recently signed Free Trade Agreement with Australia, Baroness Jenny Jones of the Green Party joined FOUR PAWS UK, the RSPCA and the Trade and Animal Welfare Coalition in Parliament to highlight the harsh realities behind lower animal welfare standards being imported into the UK.

The Parliamentary reception included speeches in support of protecting UK animal welfare standards in trade policy by the Shadow Minister for Animal Welfare, Ruth Jones MP for Newport West, and Mark Pearson MP for New South Wales, Australia.  MPs and Peers were shown footage collected from an Australian farm highlighting the undeniable suffering sheep endure every day and how the UK could be complicit in this cruelty.

Action to ban fur and foie gras imports

Published on May 17, 2022May 29, 2022 by greenlordsmedia

I recently joined organisations campaigning to save the promised Animals Abroad Bill – which would ban imports of hunting “trophies”, fur, and foie gras as well as the promotion of elephant tourist rides overseas. I joined representatives from the “Don’t Betray Animals” Coalition who launched two enormous balloons, shaped like an elephant and a lion, above Parliament to send a clear message to Boris Johnson that animals need action, not hot air.

Ban Trophy Hunting now

Published on March 1, 2022 by greenlordsmedia

Animals are not there for our sport, or to be killed for our pleasure. They are part of their environment and we should leave them alone.

·         9 in 10 voters back an immediate ban on trophies

·         British trophy hunters kill lions – many of them bred in captivity and shot in enclosures.

·         They also shoot leopards, giraffes and endangered polar bears.

·         British trophy hunters are among the world’s biggest elephant hunters.

·         Hundreds of animals have been killed by British trophy hunters since the Government announced its pledge to ban trophies in the 2019 Queen’s Speech.

·         40,000+ submissions were made to the Government’s public consultation on trophy hunting, including from scientists, wildlife experts, and people in Africa. Almost 9 in 10 backed a ban.

Michael Gove’s proposal for a full ivory trade ban was a welcome response to the calls for the protection of elephants. I signed a letter calling for the ban, along with around 200 NGOs, conservationists, MPs and others. Continue reading “Ivory ban shows that protest still works” →
