Progressive Veterinary Association @pvavet are doing the work required to maintain openness.. too many pets being dumped due to unaffordability as well as recklessness and lack of responsibility towards domesticated animals

Please sign & share. Rachel Reeves is wavering on taxing Big Banks, rather than citizens, to help plug the hole in the Nation's finances. Help Labour make the right decision for once, to be on the side of the people rather than abetting corporate capital you.38degrees.org.uk/petitio…

Farage's motion on leaving the European Convention on Human Rights failed: 154 votes to 96
All 4 @TheGreenParty MPs voted against it, because we believe international agreements on human rights are a good thing.
But only 63 out of 401 Labour MPs did:

Pigs are extremely intelligent & highly sentient. Concerns remain that humane killing for meat simply isn't possible. If you ever have the misfortune to observe the screaming & panic of pigs being gassed by CO2, you just might stop bringing home the bacon nationalpigassociation.co.uk…

Myself, along with PVA colleagues, are very concerned about the CMA's Provisional Decision Report into the vet sector. No breaking up of duopolies or monopolies. No generic drugs to reduce costs to the public. A blueprint for a full corporate takeover? vettimes.com/news/business/p…

You've seen the story on the front page of the Vet Times, but read the detail of the PVA's third letter to the RCVS on governance reform by clicking the link on our homepage pva.vet
PVA calls for the separation of disciplinary and some regulatory functions from RCVS, and the formation of a new General Veterinary Council vettimes.co.uk/news/rcvs-rea…
The PVA is opposed to any invasive experimentation on animals, because it is unnecessary animal cruelty, it provides data which are a poor model for human physiology and disease, because organ on a chip technology is already available - and because of this
Censorship, bullying and the withdrawl of funding from scientists who won't experiment on animals. The classic playbook of coercion and control independent.co.uk/news/world…
Please sign and share this petition to deny entry to the UK of Ivan Balabanov, and thus prevent the promotion of cruel dog training practices using shock and prong collars chng.it/SwGzmY8P2S
Toys are all very well. What calves actually need are their mothers in order to express "natural behaviours". 'Calf at foot' dairy is the answer, but the question isn't being asked. fwi.co.uk/livestock/benefits…

The current system for licensing veterinary parasiticides is deeply flawed & they are often not removed from sale even when their environmental toxicity is clear. The PVA wishes fipronil removed from sale immediately as it is ineffective as well as toxic vettimes.co.uk/news/vmd-defe…
It's hard to read articles like this, but as veterinary professionals we need to understand public opinion. The PVA agrees with the stance taken by the BVU at Valley Vets. Huge corporate profits coupled with staff using food banks make for very poor optics walesonline.co.uk/news/wales…

A-list celebs join the campaign for the @RSPCA_official to drop its "Assured" scheme. Hard to see a graceful exit for the RSPCA on this independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho…

RSPCA reviewing its "Assured" labelling sheme. Rightly so. The review needs to be thorough, diligent, honest and pull no punches google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.c…
This is finally confirmed. An EU Commissioner for Health and Animal Welfare. We need an equivalent in the UK - someone in Govt whose specific role is to act as an advocate for animals and their protection - and who has the power so to do animalequality.org.uk/news/e…
