Extremely unsurprising that Charlotte Dujardin has been applying abusive ‘errors of judgement’ to get her horses to act this way. Dressage is totally unnatural and disrespectful and shouldn’t be classified as a sport

. @PenFarthing setting the record straight. The problem with Twitter is that people’s fingers often work faster than their brains. Incredible some of the fabrication-turned-fact during #OperationArk

Disappointing that @BBCBreakfast shared this as comedy item, @sallynugent & @jonkay01 joking about its mouth being wired shut. This is a stressed wild animal in a totally inappropriate situation. BBC too often normalises animal cruelty (👀 @BBCCountryfile )

Yes they are fuckers Zac, but a better question is why do we have a regulatory system that fails animals on farms so comprehensively? This👇from @animal_equality tells you why the fuckers know they can get away with cruelty. Please meet animal orgs to start making change happen!

It’s irresponsible for BBC to feature and even focus a fish being kept in this way as it could easily lead others to think this is acceptable. Fish have complex needs:

3/3 through @AllDogsMatter we’ve placed 31 #dogmeat dogs in UK families. Like all rescue dogs they need love & time, but their capacity to learn love & trust is amazing. I adopted Henry from our 10th farm closure in 2017. Here he is this morning! @NickyAACampbell @PipTomson

Good to discuss @SurreyPolice ’s shocking ramming of a calf with @AllisonFerns1 on @BBCSussex (from 8.20). Waiting for an update on calf’s injuries & hoping to hear that he/she will be surrendered to a sanctuary, thousands of people want to see that happen

@JosieAllan4 @ElwoodDogMeat Hi @ElwoodDogMeat @josieallan4 ! This is Henry, he was rescued from a dog meat farm in South Korea. Some farmers there actually don’t want to farm dogs for meat any more. IKR?!! Could we start a small retriever cheese business with him? I don’t know where milk comes from. Thanks!
