Political animal website

22.03.10
We need your help to lobby prospective parliamentary candidates ahead of the next government election on our new interactive website.
 

We want to make sure laws protecting animals are not watered down and progress is sustained under the next government.

The Political animal site gives you all the information you need to lobby your prospective parliamentary candidates, debate key issues and help write an animal welfare manifesto for the next government.

This is a great opportunity to vote on issues that you feel strongly about.

A unique resource

The website gives suggestions on ways to quiz your local parliamentary candidates, and our experts will be able to come online to answer your queries.  There is vidoe footage to watch and up-to-the-minute information about Political animal on Twitter too.

This is a unique resource, explaining our stance on issues like status dogs, higher welfare farming, wild animals in circuses, and animals used in experiments.

RSPCA parliamentary officer Stacey Frier said:

The Political Animal microsite is a unique project allowing our supporters to drive the debate by letting politicians know what they want them to do for animal welfare if they are elected.

Stacey added “The RSPCA and its supporters have been instrumental in campaigning for change in animal welfare legislation since the Society’s creation in 1824, and we’re urging the incoming parliament to continue to work with us to achieve further animal welfare milestones.”
 

The Political animal site contains a timeline of the last 20 years of animal welfare law, leading up to the Animal Welfare Act 2006, showing landmark changes.
