Animal Law Day

The UK Centre for Animal Law (A-LAW) is a charity that brings together lawyers and other people interested in animal protection law to share experience and to harness that expertise for the benefit of animals.

Why an Animal Law Day?

Animal Law is a neglected area of law, but while it has been slow to develop, this is changing and A-Law is increasingly seeing interest in how the law can be used to achieve important social justice reforms for animals, who rank amongst the most vulnerable in our society. We declared Animal Law Day to raise awareness and provide an impetus for lawyers to support the valuable legal work for animals that goes on throughout the year. #ALawDay

A big push to raise funds during Animal Law Day (22 July) #ALawDay

A-Law is asking people to fundraise for the charity during Animal Law Day, so that we can do more throughout the year to help animals.

Animal Law Day takes place on 22 July each year and marks the anniversary of the first national legislation to protect animals in 1822.

Call on Broxtowe Council to reject Trowell Zoo application

A date has been set for Broxtowe Council to discuss the controversial Trowell Zoo application and we need YOU to help the Council reject it.

It is up to us to show that this green belt flood plain land should remain undeveloped, and that authorising NEW zoos is a step backwards in 2024.

Our Animal Rising supporters in the midlands have worked tirelessly throughout 2023, and into 2024 to call on Broxtowe Council to reject the zoo application.

This is your chance to join our efforts as we gather outside of the Town Hall, Foster Avenue, Beeston, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, NG9 1AB at 5:30pm on Wednesday 13th March and call on the Council to decline plans for further animal exploitation, and to protect our local wildlife and green spaces

For more information see the statement from Born Free Foundation

Born Free strongly opposes the exploitation and keeping of wild animals in captivity and campaigns to Keep Wildlife in the Wild.

Nottingham Animal Rights Planning Meeting at Sumac

Nottingham Animal Rights meeting at the Sumac Centre in Forest Fields, to plan forthcoming campaign activities.

All welcome – hunt sabs, vegan campaigners, AR activists, people who want to get involved, and people who just want to know more about what we do, including supporters of Animal Aid, Greyhound Action, Hunt Sabs, VIVA!, Vegan Society and the many other groups that we aim to support locally.

In between the Sumac meetings, there may also be meetings in the City Centre.

We recognize that turning up to a meeting of complete strangers can be daunting, but the atmosphere at NottinghamAR meetings is always very informal, and by all means bring a couple of friends with you if it makes you feel more confident, everyone is welcome!

The planning meetings are where you can obtain support from like minded people for campaigns against all forms of animal cruelty.

There is no hierarchy, our broad scope is a consequence of a broad demographic of proactive members. Whether your interest is in countering the fur trade, factory farming, vivisection, blood sports or (most commonly) all animal cruelty, you will find campaigning opportunities as part of both local and national initiatives.

We have members from all backgrounds, from experienced activists to those who are new to animal rights or have been appalled by YouTube videos of animal experiments and joined us to do something about it. So don’t worry if you are new to campaigning, there truly is something for everyone. 🙂

All our activities are 100% legal and non-violent, we do public protests and other direct action, we do information stalls, we do free food give-aways, we do sanctuary work, and in fact anything else we can think of, including trips to demos elsewhere.

Chant For All Beings To Be Free

We will come together to chant in unity the mantra: ‘Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu’ ~ which in essence means ‘May All Beings Be Free.’

We will meet in Jubilee Square in Leicester for this event. This is a public open space. People can come & join in for as long as they please. We invite people to help leaflet & conduct outreach at the same time.

Chanting this powerful mantra assists us in sending compassion to all beings, & in particular those beings that are most often overlooked: the animals.

Over 56 billion farmed animals are killed by humans every year for food. They are bred, enslaved & eventually sent to slaughter. In the dairy industry, cows are artificially made pregnant, their calves separated from them, they are milked by machines & then eventually sent to slaughter when they are of no more use.

This day of chanting will be for the animals. It will be to remember them & to send love & compassion. We will also extend that compassion to those who are not yet aware of the full reality of the meat & dairy industry & its environmental impact. And we’ll send it to those that work tirelessly to raise awareness about the suffering.

Dina Aherne of Imperfectly Vegan and Sailesh Rao Executive Director of Climate Healers with be speaking at the event. Also Sandra HIggins Campaign Director at Go Vegan World and Director at Eden Farmed Animal Sanctuary Ireland.”

Come & join with others of a like mind to chant, to support the animals, and to visualise a humane future. Everyone is welcome regardless of religion or belief.💚🌎🌱
