Benvenuto Cellini is just three years old.⁠
⁠
This weekend, he is one of the favourites for the Epsom Derby, where £1 million in prize money is on offer. Last month, he won over £82,000 for his owners after being struck repeatedly with a whip to push him faster towards the finish line.⁠
⁠
Like many Derby winners before him, his future is already mapped out if he succeeds. He may be retired from racing within a year or two and sent to stud, where he could spend the rest of his life being bred repeatedly for profit. ⁠
⁠
If he continues racing, he faces the ever present risk of injury and death that shadows the industry.⁠
⁠
Behind the glamour, champagne and million pound prizes are horses like Benvenuto, still children, bred for human gain and denied any choice over their own lives.⁠
⁠
My name is Benvenuto Cellini. I am someone. 🤍

It's Volunteer Network Week!⁠
⁠
This week we're celebrating all of the amazing people who give their time to help animals. Whether it's attending demonstrations, helping at fairs and markets, leafleting, fundraising, taking online actions or supporting local outreach, every volunteer helps make a difference.⁠
⁠
A lot of people want to help animals but aren't sure where to start. The great thing about our volunteer network is that there's something for everyone. Not everyone wants to attend a demo and not everyone wants to run a stall, that's okay. There are lots of ways to get involved and we're always happy to help you find what works for you.⁠
⁠
A huge thank you to all of our volunteers for your time, dedication and passion. 💚⁠
⁠
If you'd like to do more for animals but don't know how, get in touch, we'd love to hear from you. Visit the link in our bio and fill out our volunteer form to join the network.⁠

On National Greyhound Day, we celebrate these gentle, sensitive dogs while recognising the reality that far too many have been, and continue to be, treated as commodities by the racing industry.⁠
⁠
Greyhounds are not products, profits, or disposable assets. They are individuals with unique personalities, and deserve fulfilling lives beyond the racetrack.⁠
⁠
Today, we honour the greyhounds who have suffered exploitation and reaffirm our commitment to a future where no dog is bred, raced, or discarded for entertainment.⁠
⁠
A safe, loving home should be the standard for all greyhounds, not the exception, and we will keep campaigning until that future is their reality. 🐾⁠

Every day, beagles in UK laboratories are forced to inhale chemicals in toxicity tests.
 
These friendly, affectionate dogs don’t choose this life, they are bred for it. They feel fear and stress, yet have no way to escape.
 
This suffering was never meant to be seen by the public.
 
But now we’ve seen the evidence. We’ve seen the footage. And we cannot look away.
 
📢 It’s time to act.

🚨 Wildlife persecution exposed at the Welbeck Estate 🚨⁠
⁠
New footage from the Hunt Saboteurs Association has uncovered deeply disturbing evidence of cruelty carried out to protect shooting interests.⁠
⁠
Investigators found:⁠
⚠️ A snare set directly on a badger run⁠
⚠️ A young badger just metres from the trap⁠
⚠️ Evidence suggesting a badger had already been caught⁠
⚠️ Poisoned rats and deadly traps nearby⁠
⁠
Setting snares near badger runs is illegal,yet this is still happening in England while the government delays its promised ban on snares.⁠
⁠
Snares are already banned in Scotland and Wales. How many more wild animals must suffer before England follows?⁠
⁠
📢 It’s time for action. Ban snares NOW.⁠

Crows, ravens, rooks, magpies and jays are not nuisances to erase, they are part of Britain’s living landscape.⁠
⁠
Yet corvids are routinely killed, while millions of non native birds, like pheasants and partridges, are released into the countryside every year for sport shooting.⁠
⁠
The result?⁠
⁠
Britain’s most intelligent birds are trapped and killed to protect an industry built around shooting for entertainment.⁠
⁠
We can do better than calling native wildlife “vermin”.

£35,000 Raised. Just £15,000 left to reach our goal ‼️

We’re 70% of the way to funding vital undercover investigations that expose hidden animal cruelty and bring the truth into the light.

For more than 50 years, Animal Aid investigators have gone inside slaughterhouses, farms and markets to reveal the suffering animals are forced to endure, often at great personal risk. Their work has reached millions, sparked national headlines and helped change public awareness.

But there is still so much more to uncover.

Right now, we’re preparing new investigations to expose abuse that would otherwise remain hidden and we need your help to make them possible.

💥 Every donation will be DOUBLED 💥

Thanks to a generous donor, every gift is matched up to £50,000.

£10 → £20
£50 → £100

Together, we can unlock £100,000 to fund vital investigations and expose the truth behind industries built on animal suffering.

If you can, please donate today. With matched funding, your support will go twice as far. 💚

Most people never see elderly horses.⁠
⁠
We see them on racecourses, whipped across finish lines before their bones have even finished growing. We see them collapse on tracks, their suffering hidden behind screens and excuses. But we rarely see what comes after, because for so many racehorses, there is no “after.”⁠
⁠
Handsome One was one of the lucky few.⁠
⁠
At 33 years old, Handsome One is something most racehorses never get to be: old.⁠
⁠
After racing in the US, he was surrendered to a sanctuary where, for the first time, he was allowed to simply live. ⁠
⁠
His greying face and slower body were later photographed in Isa Leshko’s series 'Allowed to Grow Old', a rare glimpse into the future most horses used in racing are denied.⁠
⁠
Growing old should not be remarkable. But in the racing world, it is. ⁠
⁠
My name is Handsome One and I am someone. 🤍⁠

Behind closed laboratory doors, animals are suffering in silence and now, the world has seen the truth.⁠
⁠
Concerned lab workers filmed undercover footage from UK laboratories, exposing the largest documented evidence of animal toxicity testing ever made public through a major international investigation.⁠
⁠
📢 Keep speaking up. Keep sharing. Keep pushing for a future without animal testing.⁠
⁠
We cannot let this be ignored. ⁠
