Remembrance Day

Fri 11th November, 2016 @ 11:00

Peace Dove“Whilst there are slaughterhouses, there will be battlefields” – Tolstoy

Throughout history, animals have suffered and died as a result of human conflicts.

Remember the animals with Animal Aid.Request their booklet Animals: The Hidden Victims of War.


Throughout the history of human conflicts, animals have been victims of war.

During World War I, dogs and pigeons were used to deliver messages between frontline trenches and further afield. Horses, donkeys and even elephants have been routinely used as beasts of burden, while a shocking array of animals – from bears to deer – have been kept as pets in the midst of battle.

Today, animals continue to be used in the battlefield to detect explosives, and thousands suffer and die each year in laboratories, infected with biological or chemical agents, or deliberately shot or otherwise damaged.
