Thinking of attending a Boxing Day hunt meet? This is what ‘trail hunts’ get up to.
Please RT if it is one thing you do today and get these faces everywhere. Cowards.

Donald Trump, a self-confessed sexual assaulter, being named Time's Person of the Year over Gisele Pelicot, who was drugged & raped by her husband & 100 men for YEARS, and who waived anonymity to change the world for women, shows you exactly why women are rightly fucking ANGRY.

Very few school shooters have gotten the death penalty. Yet the U.S. is trying to charge Luigi Mangione so he gets the death penalty for killing one man. You can kill dozens of kids and get a lesser sentence because their lives don’t matter as much as a CEO’s. That’s America.

If you have hedgehogs visiting your garden feeder now they are either underweight or sick. Please watch out for these danger signs:
❗️Coming earlier than usual to the feeder
❗️Not eating as much
❗️Running circuits
❗️Doing smelly or sloppy poo
❗️Any audible breathing sounds
❗️Clusters of ticks
If you notice any one of these, please get them to a rescue urgently.

ALT Shepherd, a wild hedgehog being treated at Hedgehog Cabin, a hedgehog hospital.
If you're seeing hedgehogs around and wondering why they aren't hibernating, it's because they can't.
Hibernation is a complex, dangerous process, and only full-sized healthy hedgehogs can attempt it.
So these underweight sickly hogs are forced to struggle through winter, when there's no safe natural food.
But you can help.
Please DO NOT take them take them in!
Keeping them in captivity just adds to their suffering. The stress of being imprisoned by you will kill them, no matter how much you feed and love them.
Provide a dish of good nutritional food every evening before dark. This must be cat or dog food ONLY.
Wet food is okay, but it'll freeze on subzero winter nights, so dry food is best.
Dry kitten food is perfect.
Please read the ingredients because it must have meat listed as the first ingredient. Hedgehogs can't process cereal.
And always have a large shallow dish of water beside the food (a flowerpot saucer or a casserole dish lid is perfect).
If you see cats stealing the food you can easily make a cat-proof feeder, to keep the food safe. My website has a whole page of ideas: hedgehogcabin.info/making-a-…
Making them a house to sleep in between meals will protect them from the cold and save their precious energy, so they can digest the food as they nap. They may even choose to live in it. Please don't waste your money on these cheap small uninsulated houses.
If you notice signs of them being ill - coming to the food much earlier than normal, or eating much less, or doing smelly or sloppy poo, or making any breathing sounds - please take them to a rescue (never a vet) for treament straight away. Google 'hedgehog rescue near me' to find a rescue with space.
Your local rescue may be full, but keep trying others. No matter how far away it's only one journey, and you'll save a life.
If you can manage it, a trail camera will allow you to watch back video of the night's action.uk.govicture.com/products/vi… It will also alert you to unhealthy breathing sounds that need investigating by a rescue.
Thank you for being a guardian and provider to our precious and endangered hedgehogs.

This week the Guardian's owner, the Scott Trust, gifted the 233-year-old Observer to Tortoise Media.
This isn't just a dark day for journalism, it's a sign.
Meet the team.
This is Putin giving Tortoise's energy advisory board member an 'Order of Friendship' medal in 2017.

King Charles who loves killing foxes, birds, and badgers has been made Patron of the RSPCA.
King Charles used his power to block a ban on Fox Hunting and to make sure it is the joke ban we currently have.
RT if the RSPCA should remove him.

Gisele Pelicot will forever be the face of dignity and resilience.
Her bravery is truly remarkable — and she has empowered millions of women around the world.
Today, we stand with all survivors of sexual violence and against the systems that intimidate them into silence.

This is the Beaufort Hunt on the B4040 (a 50mph) road on Saturday in Luckington. Can @wiltshirepolice @WiltsSpecOps @WiltsRuralCrime @OPCCWiltSwindon @pwilkinson_pcc explain why they still not served a Community Protection Warning on this ASBO hunt? Who is in their pocket?

The Hunting with Dogs (Scotland) Act of 2023 states that only two hounds can be used when hunts are flushing a covert to waiting guns.
The 2 hounds are not permitted to hunt over open ground.

There’s been a lot of dogs with cropped ears in the UK media recently. It’s not natural. It’s not necessary. It’s not legal. Their ears are cut off to make them look that way. Really… RT if you want to see an end to this painful mutilation. #FlopNotCrop #CutTheCrop

A shotgun was fired whilst the Quantock Staghounds were pursuing deer through Slaughterhouse Combe, but no body was taken out. Is there now a wounded deer left suffering on the hills? Pictured - a 5 month old calf running for their life today.

🚨 BREAKING: RED TRACTOR SUSPENDS FARM OVER ANIMAL ABUSE 🚨
Our shocking undercover footage has exposed systemic abuse of boars at Innovis in Norfolk, a facility linked to UK supermarket 'pork' and 'bacon' suppliers.
📹 Harrowing scenes captured include:
- Boars beaten with pitchforks and pipes.
- Injured animals forced to walk on faeces-covered concrete.
- Verbal abuse from long-standing staff.
- Boars confined to pens for nearly their entire lives.
@RedTractorFood which certifies farms for 'high-welfare' standards, has revoked Innovis’ certification, calling the footage "shocking and disgusting."
🐷 Claire Palmer, Director of Animal Justice Project, described it as “appalling abuse,” with staff routinely striking, stabbing, and intimidating animals without intervention.
📢 The abuse violates the Animal Welfare Act 2006. Yet, the suffering continues. Join us in demanding justice for animals and accountability for those who fail them.
