Jane often spoke about how we need to work together to protect our planet – and the role each of us can play. Today and every day, let's play our role. You don't need to do much, and you don't need to do this on your own. Photos: Morten Bjarnhof / Maud Rostaing / Teena Koppaithara / Erin Deakin

A clipboard, protocol, and laboratory vocabulary cannot make violence neutral. When an animal’s body becomes experimental equipment, professional procedure does not erase the suffering or excuse the institution that authorizes it. #animalrights

It's ridiculous how some people defend animal testing while hailing the Orange One's policies! Back in my day, we cared for our furry friends, not experimented on them. Dogs are pure, they deserve our loyalty and love. Let's focus on protecting them instead of playing with politics!

Octopus farming is extremely unethical and stupid. These creatures among the smartest species in the entire planet, with complex emotional lives. To subject these being to a lifetime of confinement and suffering in barren tanks before a slow and agonising death needs to stop. Please sign this 👇🏼

I'm doing this walk to raise vital funds for the next phase of our campaign calling on the Scottish Government to outlaw the Guga hunt for good. Until this happens, we'll be caught in an endless loop fighting the licence to kill Gannet chicks every year!

10KM TO GO! I'm running laps of the Scottish Parliament to call on the government to outlaw the Guga hunt for good. The 2026 Guga hunt licence was rejected yesterday but that only saves the Gannets for one year! We need the law changed so this horrific practice is stopped forever

Modern science doesn't have to rely on animal testing. Computational toxicology uses AI and computer modeling to predict how drugs and chemicals interact with the human body, helping build a safety assessment framework that is more predictive, more efficient, and free from animal harm.

Today we sued the Trump administration for deciding not to protect American horseshoe crabs under the Endangered Species Act. Horseshoe crab populations have plummeted by more than 70% in recent decades because of overharvesting, especially from biomedical companies. Learn more ➡️ biodiv.us/4afSj2x

Humpback whales actively protect seals and other marine animals from killer whale (orca) attacks. They've even saved humans from sharks. In return, we kill THEM.
