These 2 pieces of green situated between Landen Park and Arne Grove in Horley, Surrey, were designated as 'PUBLIC OPEN SPACES' when the housing estate was designed and built in the early 1970s. These green spaces are used and enjoyed every day by residents of all ages for activities such as walking, dog walking, cycling and playing. They have also been used for community celebrations such as for the Queen's Jubilees. The green areas provide a vital habitat for local wildlife including birds and bats. The space creates a visual break for residents, and these areas have been an important factor in many residents' decision to move into the estate over the last 40 plus years. This land is now being threatened with development. As residents we are already being impacted by the huge development to the north-west of us at the Westvale Park site. Building on these areas would bring even more traffic to two already crowded cul-de-sacs, creating risks for local children who play and walk these streets. For the health, well-being and sustainability of community and family life, and for the protection of local wildlife, we must protect these precious green spaces.

The production of foie gras is nothing short of barbaric. It is illegal to produce it in the UK and in 12 other countries globally. The owners of this pub are importing it and selling it. Foie gras has no place in a civilised society.

It's barbaric, inhumaine and cruel, Enough is enough. Let England stand above the rest and be a Great Nation. Stand tall and show the world CRUELTY for Vainity is NOT acceptable.

The UK's National Wildlife Crime Unit is badly underfunded. A recent FOI request revealed an actual annual income of only £515, 203 - allowing them to employ 10.6 "full time equivalent" staff (which in fact equates to 11 staff members). This is across the whole of the UK! No wonder wildlife crime in the UK is rampant. Hen Harriers are regularly shot over grouse moors and nobody is prosecuted, to cite just one example. If the NWCU are going to do an effective job of preventing (and prosecuting) wildlife crime in the UK they need to be far better funded

These traps are used to trap rodents (mice, rats shrews etc) by pretending to be a food source, but actually are a very sticky surface. The rodent becomes stuck to the surface of the trap and looks forward to a long slow death from starvation. Recently birds of prey such as owls have tried to feed on the trapped rodents and have become stuck themselves and die the same prolonged death from starvation. We are seeking a ban on the sale and use of these inhumane, Indiscriminate traps, to reduce animal suffering.

Mr Harnden and his fellow directors of the GBGB have had months to account for these dogs, but so far, have not produced any evidence that the dogs are alive. They claim paperwork has been submitted according to regulation, but the GBGB retirement form also includes reasons for euthanasia, which means these dogs could be dead without any breach of regulation. How difficult can it be, to produce these dogs if they are alive?? It is vital that the GBGB are transparent in relation to this case. If we do not get answers, it will remain to discredit the whole of the racing industry.

The Bank of England is weighing up whether to use palm oil or coconut oil in their new banknotes. Palm oil plantations are currently a leading cause of rainforest destruction, destroying the homes of endangered Orangutans who are treated like pests and killed to aid the palm oil industry. The Bank of England faces a simple decision, to use destructive palm oil, or opt for a more sustainable alternative such as coconut oil. This decision could have a ripple effect in other countries too as they follow suit and produce new types of bank notes.

The MOD wrote in a letter to me that "the bearskin cap has been associated with the Guards Division since a Royal Warrant was issued by King George III in 1768 which ordered the replacing of the 'Mitre' Cap with a Cap made from the skin of a black bear." Don't you think that after nearly 250 blood-stained years it is time to end this shameful and unnecessary 'tradition'?

Why should these animals be treated like this when it has been proven that they are not doing any harm. It costs £5-6 thousand to kill a badger but only £700 to vaccinate it, so why cull?

Dogs are a man's best friend. They are a part of society and bring joy and happiness to the families which choose to invite them into their home. The south hams district council are proposing to introduce new laws which will restrict this loving and caring animal to enjoy its life by restricting its freedom and movement. South hams District council want to propose that all dogs are only allowed in public spaces whilst restricted by their leads. Dogs find so much happiness in the simple yet beautiful side of life. They enjoy all of the creatures which make our world beautiful. From chasing flies to observing butterflies. They sense when you are sad and make you smile through their appreciation of the joys of life. Please sign this petition and help dogs and their owners enjoy the freedom of the earth in order to maintain the special bond between human and dog. https://twitter.com/hashtag/Consultation?src=hash

These poor animals are in a tiny enclosure, with no real outside space to roam like lions naturally should. They pace up and down, staring at their spectators with blank expressions. There is no need for them to be in such a small space, when the Zoo own land at the Wild Place and have a whole meadow (purely for picnics) as I gather. Give these beautiful creatures some dignity and space and let Bristol Zoo prove they are the "caring" Zoo they claim they are.

The February 2017 exposure of the horrendous conditions for pigs at the Lambrook Pig Unit at Lamyatt, Somerset appalled many thousands of people across the UK, not least because the conditions shown in the video evidence were largely legal under the law as it stands at present. No reasonable person could possibly accept that the conditions shown at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=577DEdDxRek should be allowed by law in the United Kingdom in the twenty first century. This video evidence clearly identifies a need for an urgent and substantive amendment to The Welfare of Farmed Animals (England) Regulations 2007 to introduce even a modicum of decency in terms of basic conditions for farm animals in the UK
