The Review – Issue 26 Welcome to the Review – Issue 26 It was a challenging year for animal welfare but also one that gave us many opportunities to improve the lives of animals. At the centre of our campaigns and achievements in 2016 were our wonderful supporters, volunteers, partners and collaborators, who united in a collective power for positive change. We are immensely proud to welcome Wendy Turner Webster and Anneka Svenska as patrons – two wonderful people who care about the issues we are addressing and are keen to work with us in our quest to end animal suffering. Our success last year reinforces our conviction that making change happen is not only possible for animal welfare professionals, but also within everyone’s reach. You have more power than you think and we hope you will continue to help us save the lives of animals.

In my world of beach and dune these elemental presences lived and had their being, and under their arch there moved an incomparable pageant of nature and the year. The flux and reflux of ocean, the incomings of waves, the gatherings of birds, the pilgrimages of the peoples of the sea, winter and storm, the splendour of autumn and the holiness of spring – all these were part of the great beach. The longer I stayed, the more eager was I to know this coast and to share its mysteries and elemental life … Edward Beston, The Outermost House Premises of the machine age.

The event was held at the House of Commons on 13th July 2006. Mahaveer awards were also presented to two prominent vegetarians - Judge Mota Singh QC and Lord Swaraj Paul. The event got massive press coverage in India, thus helping us tp fulfi l our long held wish - to bring about a vegetarian revolution in India! Swami Ramdev said in his address to the meeting that Yoga and Vegetarianism are an answer to so many problems faced by the human race and our planet. The event was compered by Kajal Bhatt and Janaki Mehta and a vote of thanks was delivered by Jyoti Mehta. Representatives of Hindu, Jain, Sikh and Buddhist organisations were present as well as former Speaker of Parliament Lord Weatherill. I urge you all to promote vegetarianism at every opportunity: don’t buy leather shoes or sofas or go to meat restaurants - give your business to vegetarian restaurants! Don’t buy goods from companies that exploit animals and never buy shares in companies which abuse animals. As Gandhiji said: Let us be the change that we are seeking in the world. Special thanks to Kirit Mehta, Bobby Verma and Malcolm Wicks MP for making it all possible. Judge Mota Singh QC, Mahaveer Award recipient addressing the meeting FOOTNOTE 37th World Vegetarian Congress. To be held in Goa from 10th to 16th September 2006.

Millions of people around the world believe it is wrong for animals to suffer and die, just so they can be turned into food. The UK is said to be a nation of animal lovers, but more than two and a half million farm animals are killed here every day just to satisfy the population’s taste for meat. Cats, dogs and other pets share our lives and our homes, while cattle, pigs, sheep and other farm animals are seen as disposable commodities. Is that something you feel comfortable with? 3 cattle There are nearly ten million cattle in yrs the UK. Cows naturally live for around 2 25 years, but those destined to become beef are slaughtered between one and two years old. Veal calves live only a although killed at 1-2 years few months.
