https://linktr.ee/animalaiduk We investigate and expose animal cruelty, and our undercover investigations and other evidence are often used by the media, bringing these issues to public attention.

This weekend, we are heading to New Scientist Live and we’ll be there to talk about why scientific progress doesn’t have to come at the expense of animals.

A future without animal experiments doesn’t mean a future without science. We believe in better, human-relevant science that moves beyond deliberately harming animals in laboratories.

Come and meet members of our Education and Campaigns teams, who’ll be at our stall throughout the event. Find out more about our work, chat to the team and discover how you can help us build a future where animals are no longer used in experiments.

If you’re at New Scientist Live, come and say hello! 🐭🔬

Humans are the biggest hypocrites.⁠
⁠
We call foxes “pests”. Deer “overpopulated”. Pheasants “a nuisance”. Birds “noisy”.⁠
⁠
But when humans tear up habitats, build over fields, pollute waterways, cover the countryside in roads and shoot wildlife, somehow we’re not the problem.⁠
⁠
Wild animals are constantly blamed for simply existing in the places they’ve always called home.⁠
The countryside doesn’t belong to us.⁠
⁠
It belongs to all of us. 🦊🌿

🚨 700+ incidents of abuse at an M&S ‘gold standard’ dairy farm. 🚨⁠
⁠
Between November 2025 and February 2026, undercover cameras from For All Animals recorded more than 700 incidents of alleged abuse at an award-winning dairy farm.⁠
⁠
Newborn calves were allegedly kicked, hit, thrown, sworn at and force-fed synthetic milk. One calf reportedly drowned after milk was tubed into her lungs, while farm records showed other calves had also recently died by drowning.⁠
⁠
The footage also appeared to show painful mutilations, including calves having their horn buds burned off with hot irons and being surgically castrated without anaesthetic.⁠
⁠
Some calves were left without milk for up to 19 hours, while others suffered diarrhoea, leaving them weak with raw skin. And when investigators returned in February, the alleged abuse and neglect had continued.⁠
⁠
So what did the inspection miss?⁠
⁠
An M&S inspector arrived at the farm in November. Workers knew they were coming. Cameras captured a hurried clean up, including removing a dead calf less than three hours before the inspection.⁠
⁠
The inspection lasted just 10 minutes.⁠
⁠
No pens were entered. No calves were physically examined.⁠
⁠
Less than a minute after the inspector left, the alleged abuse resumed.⁠
⁠
An independent animal welfare expert who reviewed the footage identified potential breaches across 12 areas of animal welfare law, alongside 14 further welfare concerns.⁠
⁠
This is what can happen behind the label of ‘gold standard’ dairy farming. Imagine what happens on other farms?⁠

Hunting season is here.⁠
⁠
They’ll tell you it’s tradition, that the dogs love it, and that it’s simply a day out in the countryside.⁠
⁠
But what about the animals who never get a say?⁠
⁠
The foxes chased, terrorised and killed.⁠
The stags pursued for miles until exhaustion and fear take over.⁠
The birds driven into the path of guns.⁠
The hunt dogs used to chase and kill, then discarded when they’re no longer wanted.⁠
The horses used to carry riders across dangerous terrain, with injuries and exhaustion part of the reality.⁠
⁠
This isn't tradition worth protecting. It's animal abuse.⁠
⁠
And when the hunts head out, hunt saboteurs will be there too - standing between them and the animals they intend to harm.⁠
⁠
Because the animals deserve someone on their side.⁠
⁠
This hunting season, remember the real victims. ⁠
⁠
And don’t forget to support your local hunt sab group. They need our support to keep showing up for animals this hunting season.⁠

An animal’s life in a laboratory doesn’t begin with the experiment.⁠
⁠
For animals bred for research, the laboratory can be the only world they ever know.⁠
⁠
They may be bred specifically for experiments, separated from their mothers, transported to laboratories and confined before a single procedure takes place.⁠
⁠
Then come the experiments: restraint, injections, forced exposure, surgery, toxicity testing and other procedures, depending on the research.⁠
⁠
And when the experiment is over, their story doesn't necessarily end there. ⁠
⁠
Many animals are killed so their bodies can be examined, or because they are no longer considered useful to the research.⁠
⁠
We often talk about animal experiments as though the suffering begins when the procedure starts.⁠
But for an animal in a laboratory, the experiment can be their entire life.

All animals deserve rights, respect, and compassion regardless of how cute, intelligent, rare, or friendly they are.⁠
⁠
None of these are required for humans, so why should animals have to meet a different standard?

When they want. On their own terms. Without harm. 🤍

Scared. Frightened. Trapped.
This is why they keep it hidden.
 
Rats squeezed into ‘inhalation towers’, forced to breathe in chemicals. Unable to escape.
 
This is the reality of toxicity testing. And we cannot allow their suffering to remain a secret. 🐀

We already know that welfare protections don’t go far enough.
 
And we know that justice evolves.
 
Throughout history, society has expanded rights to groups who were once denied them. Ideas that were once considered normal have been challenged, rejected and left behind.
 
Animal rights is the next step.
 
Because animals have lives of their own. They have interests, relationships, preferences and experiences. Their lives matter to them.
 
So why shouldn’t their rights matter?
It’s time to expand the circle again. 🖤

Pregnant rabbits are being subjected to toxicity testing, forced infusion tests, where a test substance is injected into their ear veins, while confined inside cylinders, unable to move.
 
This is happening behind closed laboratory doors, hidden from public view.
 
They can’t speak out. But you can.
 
What happens to animals in laboratories cannot be kept a secret.
 
Say no to Licensed Cruelty.
