FRIEND Working PartiesMany of you may know Marion and Mark from FRIEND Animal Rescue in Kent. Unfortunately, Marion has had a bad fall and has damaged her back and is bed-ridden. Mark now needs help urgently with the day to day running of the rescue with help with feeding the animals and many other tasks. If you can help them during this difficult time then please get in contact with them and pledge some practical support while Marion can not work and Mark requires more help. Even if you can only spare a few hours, it would make all the difference

Brinsley Animal Rescue Work Day Brinsley Animal Rescue is a not for profit organisation dedicated to caring for animals. Our primary mission is to relieve the suffering of animals and birds. Many of the animals that come to us are simply ’surplus to requirements’ from the meat, dairy and egg industry. Because such animals are deemed unprofitable then it is our aim to take them on and find them loving homes in which they can enjoy the retirement they deserve.
Nottm AR has regular work days here - fence building, staining, aviary building, mucking out, rabbit run building and more. Transport approx 6.30pm from City Centre - call Danny to confirm: 07593 375270. (Also possibly on Tuesdays from Beeston - call Lee 07599 282851) |

Jungle Zoo demo : CleepthorpesThe Jungle Zoo, at Kings Road, Cleethorpes DN35 0AG (01472 291 998), is a run down building which is home to a overcrowded selection of birds, reptiles, domestic animals and monkeys. The housing is inadequate with little or no enrichment, the animals lonely, bored and depressed. This is a good time to protest here as local businesses are starting to complain about the shabby state of this eyesore.

Nottingham Greyhound Stadium Demo Sadly, deaths and serious injuries to dogs running on the tracks are relatively common, and the existence of a major track like Nottingham is responsible for the putting to death of about 500 greyhounds every year. According to the pro-racing greyhoundscene internet forum, Unleash Castro, a 21 months old greyhound, collapsed and died after winning a race on April 11th 2009 at Nottingham.
Nottingham Animal Rights have to educate people about the suffering of racing dogs, leafleting at Nottingham Greyhound Stadium, usually on alternate Friday evenings, from 6.30pm. If you live in or near the East Midlands area and would like to help, please email to confirm or call c/o 07870 861837. |

World Rat Day All true fans of the pet rat know that these dear, sweet animals deserve greater recognition and admiration, and that their image suffers from ignorance and unthinking prejudice. World Rat Day can be a day to win back some respect to rats through positive promotion, or at the very least, it will be a special day to offer delicious treats and fun gifts to our pets, making some rats very happy and getting some cute photographs in the process!
Cavy Rescue, a Small Animal Shelter, invites rat lovers to celebrate World Rat Day in the UK. See http://www.cavyrescue.co.uk and http://www.worldratday.com |

Easter Monday Noah's Ark Zoo Demo Easter Monday is one of the busiest days of the year in the zoo calender. We want a show of strength in the campaign to close Noah's Ark Zoo Farm.Noah's Ark is under council investigation for animal cruelty. It has been exposed taking in tigers from Martin Lacey of the Great British Circus, with the intention of sending any tiger cubs back. Inadequate vet care and illegal disposal of dead tigers are just some of the dirty secrets exposed by an undercover investigation last year. And now they want to get elephants. Help us close it down. |
