Hi everyone,
Just a short and sweet email to share three really good things that have happened for animals in the last few days :)
First up, we have just found out that Norwich City Council has refused Barclays’ application to install bird netting at their premises! The council said Barclays failed to show the netting wouldn’t harm wildlife or protected species, so the risk to birds was unacceptable. And on top of that, they ruled the netting would visually damage a locally important heritage building and the wider conservation area, with no public benefit strong enough to justify it.
This came right after more than 6,500 of you signed our last-minute petition on Wednesday evening. It is real proof that when we act together, we can save animals’ lives.
There is no doubt you have helped protect countless birds from suffering or being left to die. That is genuinely brilliant, thank you. We’re currently working on a big campaign to end bird netting across the country, stay tuned!
Second, we recently donated £5,000, split between three wonderful organisations doing vital work. Noo Beginnings Animal Sanctuary, The Retreat Animal Rescue, and Humane Wildlife Solutions. Whenever we can, we will always support animal rescues and the brilliant people across the country who are doing incredible work for animals.
And finally, on Thursday I spoke on ITV News about the urgent need to end the badger cull for good, following our Government petition which helped secure a milestone debate in Parliament.
You can watch the clip below (turns out walking normally on camera is harder than it looks… 😅). With the final badger cull licence due to run in 2026, the pressure on the Government to end this cruelty is only growing. We will be ramping up our campaigning over the coming months to help make sure it stops once and for all.
Support Protect the Wild with a small monthly donation
We rely solely on the generosity of the public and don’t have any major funders behind the scenes. Despite being a relatively small group we are so proud of our output and it is thanks to every single person who chips in a few pounds a month that we can continue our vital work.
We do everything we legally can to fight for British wildlife. From undercover investigations, animations, journalism, report writing, equipment and mental health support for activists, protests, pressure campaigning..
Our monthly goal is to find 100 new supporters who believe in our mission and can afford to give anything from £2/3 a month in the fight for British wildlife.
We’re currently on 94! Help us reach our monthly target! :)
