Wales Against Animal Cruelty

Two beautiful creatures we are trying to protect

"Kindness and compassion towards all living beings is a mark of a civilized society. Racism, economic deprival, dog fighting and cock fighting, bullfighting and rodeos are all cut from the same defective fabric: violence. Only when we have become non-violent towards all life will we have learned to live well ourselves."

Cesar Estrada Chavez - civil rights and labour leader (1927-1993).

"Si se puede" (It can be done).

Welcome to our site - we are dedicated to campaigning against all forms of animal abuse.
Wales Against Animal Cruelty aim to raise awareness in relation to many aspects of animal cruelty - including bloodsports, badger culling, intensive factory farming, live exports and religious slaughter. We also campaign against the use of animals for entertainment in the form of circus etc. - and the horrific barbarity of bull fighting.
Waac was founded by Judi Hewitt.

Our Mission

Our aim is to raise awareness on animal cruelty issues and WAAC is dedicated to ending the institutional exploitation and abuse of animals by defending their rights and welfare.

We believe that if people knew the extent to which animals are forced to suffer through legalised cruelty, most would adopt a more compassionate lifestyle. Whether it’s abuse by the meat trade, for fur and leather products, animal testing, patronising animal circuses, or blood-sports - there would be no going back to cruelty and the world would be a far better place to live.

We also believe that showing compassion for animals is an important step towards a more civilised society. Studies have repeatedly shown that people who purposely harm animals are more likely to deliberately harm other humans.

BOYCOTT ALL NATIONAL NEWSPAPERS FOR TWELVE MONTHS, IN PROTEST AT THEIR VINDICTIVE CAMPAIGN AGAINST OUR BELOVED FOXES, AND THOSE OF US WHO LOVE THEM

Please join Brian May's SAVE ME campaign and help save our wildlife.
Help us to spread the word by getting every single one of your family, friends and colleagues to sign up to the SAVE ME pledge. We need more people to stand up and be counted. This is a fight to stop barbaric hunting with dogs being brought by the new Prime Minister, David Cameron, who has pledged to overturn this very hard fought for ban as soon as possible.
All we want is for everyone who cares about animals, to add their names, and to say NO to the Tories bringing back killing with dogs/hounds. It will cost you nothing, and I promise, it will make you feel really good about yourself.
Thanks,
Judi

Song, for all the beautiful foxes.

Bri pictured with rescued fox cub Sebastian

This photograph changed my life. Even I, who thought I was an enlightened animal-lover, had vestiges of suspicion and fear about foxes - fuelled by the myths we are taught as kids. This moment of bonding with a rescued young orphan cub, Sebastian, one of the gentlest and most innocent creatures I have ever encountered, dispelled all the doubts. Surely nobody in their right mind could sanction the tearing apart, by half-starved dogs, of this beautiful, gentle, and precious creature ? Yet, this is what we are faced with, if the Countryside Alliance gets their way. The ignorance and mindless cruelty, some day soon, must be swept away. It must. It is time. Meanwhile, Sebastian has made it back into the wild, so we only occasionally catch a glimpse of him. This is as it should be. But every day I fear for him. He learned to trust us ... to a point - but I pray he never puts too much trust in Human Beings.

Cheers

Brian's friend Alisha

Hi folks ... well, a Happy New Year wish from me, Bri ... but a picture, instead of me, of a friend. This is Alisha ... one of our rescue animals this year ... (courtesy of the amazing Anne Brummer). She came to us as a very shaky young orphan, but, after a little medical attention and TLC, and the 'soft release' programme, she's successfully returned to the wild ... with another chance. We are thrilled that she comes back to visit sometimes ... she's one of the most sensitive, gentle and adorable creatures I have ever had the pleasure to know. She's even changed MY feeling about foxes ... I think she will have a hand in changing the world.

She sends love .. and wishes all who have been kind to the creatures around them this year ... the GREATEST 2010.

Love
Bri

“Isn’t man an amazing animal? He kills wildlife by the millions in order to protect his domestic animals and their feed. Then he kills domestic animals by the billions and eats them. This in turn kills man by the million, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative - and fatal - health conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, and cancer. So then man tortures and kills millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases. Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals. Meanwhile, some people are dying of sad laughter at the absurdity of man, who kills so easily and so violently, and once a year sends out a card praying for ‘Peace on Earth.’” - C. David Coat
