A look back at our work this month This month has been as eventful as ever for Protect the Wild. I completed a marathon to raise funds, participated in three demonstrations, celebrated a major victory in our landowner campaign, released our annual hunting report, provided additional equipment to activists in the field, surpassed 500 businesses on bloodbusiness.info, and even garnered national press coverage! Running the Richmond Marathon for Protect the Wild A huge thank you to everyone that supported my fundraiser for Protect the Wild! Running the Richmond Marathon was a tough old slog but what spurred me on was knowing there were so many people in my corner! (PS - There's still time to donate if you'd like to! :) A trio of protests against the Badger cull! It’s certainly been a busy month of protesting! From the DEFRA offices in London to Parliament, and even in Liverpool for the Labour Conference, we’ve taken our message everywhere: the senseless Badger cull must end. The Ministry of Defence revealed 0 hunts will be allowed on their land! A couple of weeks ago, we learned that no 'trail hunting' licences have been granted for the 24/25 hunting season. For all of us who have campaigned tirelessly over the years—members of the public, hunt saboteurs and monitors, and, of course, Protect the Wild—this is a significant victory worth celebrating! A big thank you to every supporter that signed our petition and sent off our template letter to the MoD!  Our second annual hunting report was released A few weeks ago, we released our latest report on the 23/24 hunting season, authored by Protect the Wild’s Glen Black. The report analyzed over 2,000 eyewitness accounts, once again uncovering the widespread continuation of illegal wildlife hunting. The findings gained significant media coverage, including features in The Independent and Yahoo News as well as in regional press such as Somerset County Gazette.  Huge numbers of people are seeing our work and being exposed to issues of wildlife persecution! Above are just a few of the publications that featured Protect the Wild’s work in September, including coverage of Jeremy Clarkson’s new pub being added to our Blood Business directory, and Chris Packham’s response to our latest hunting report. Additionally, our content has reached an incredible 6.4 million views on Facebook and Twitter over the past 28 days! There's now over 500 businesses on bloodbusiness.info - and we added a map functionality too!  We’ve hit a major milestone on our website that lists businesses supporting hunting and shooting of animals. Our goal is to provide transparency and empower the public to make informed choices about where they spend their money. We’re proud to announce that the site now features over 500 businesses. Take a look and see what’s listed in your local area here. We supported 3 brilliant groups on the frontline protecting animals The Protecting the Wild Equipment Fund continues to provide vital support to brave activists on the frontlines. In recent weeks, we’ve supplied new cameras and radios to Cheshire Hunt Sabs, a thermal imager to Derbyshire Against the Cull, and contributed towards a drone for North Devon Hunt Sabs. This is just the start of our commitment to supporting activists, and we’re excited to launch new initiatives that will provide them with the resources they deserve. We really are empowering people to protect British Wildlife! And we are so incredibly proud to say that all of the above is only made possible thanks to the support of our incredible community. We don’t have any big donors or govt funding of any kind. We rely solely on thousands of compassionate people all chipping in to make our work a reality. And we continue to go from strength to strength. If you can afford to do and aren't already please consider donating an hour's wage to us each month, it’ll help secure our future and ensure we can continue to fight hard to protect British Wildlife.  Copyright © 2024 PROTECT THE WILD LTD, All rights reserved.
