''I'm Bruno and was filmed being savagely beaten and screamed at in a cage by vile abuser Josh Tisdell. I have completed my time in foster care (foster mum misses me) and am now on my way to my forever home, leaving the past behind me''

There is no beauty in stolen freedom.
UK-THE CUB HUNTING SEASON HAS STARTED.
CUB HUNTING SEASON HAS STARTED - MIDDLETON HUNT, NORTH YORKSHIRE.
This poor terrified little one was torn apart for fun by a bunch of sadists THIS MORNING. It won't have been the only one.
It's completely illegal. Despite what they claim THEY ARE NOT TRAIL HUNTING there is no chase, just killing. They are teaching the new hounds how and what to kill. It's huntings dirty little secret.
They take the hounds to a wood or field of cover crop where they know there are young foxes, then send in the hounds. The field is surrounded by support on horseback (known as being on point) and on foot. They watch the perimeter and when they see the cubs try to make a break they shout and bang saddles etc to scare them back in to their deaths.
This is not something they want to publicise as it's illegal and often by invitation only. They wear tweeds rather than pinks to remain more inconspicuous, and usually do this very early morning and early evening.

I took part in London's Animal Rights march on Saturday 6th September. A few of the East Sussex group of activists travelled up to London on Saturday morning (all of different trains) and we met up at Marble Arch.
After greeting many other activists and pals, listening to a few speeches and me feeding the starving pidges, we set off with our banners, placards, loudspeakers, whistles and also our huge motivation to march the 2 hour long route starting off at Oxford st, going through Bond st and ending up at Hyde Park corner. There were a few hundred activists from all over the UK and also various parts of the world who marched for our animals. We were their voice.
It was loud, very colourful, happy and also a determined bunch who stopped all of London's traffic on our way through the busy streets. Plenty of Londoners and tourists were filming the march and some activists were handing out leaflets. Many people on double decker buses were curious to see and know what the commotion was about. Many people gave us the 'thumbs up' and were applauding.
We stopped in from of Canada Goose and the security guards blocked the entrance whilst we shouted 'shame on you for animal use'! We also stopped at an ice cream parlour were the customers were also told to stop consuming cruel dairy products. Some must have thought that we were cranky.
Once, we arrived to our destination, there were a few more speeches and a concert with many activists who still had the energy to dance. Everyone was very happy and delighted to have shared such a joyful and very uplifting, joyous day.
As there were 3 other marches that day in London; Free Palestine, (30 000) Pro life and our ARM march, the police were obviously informed as they must be 6 days prior to the demo, they didn't think that it was necessary to assist and monitor the vegan one. So, our lovely stewards monitored and stopped the traffic in the busy streets and all went perfectly well. We were quite chuffed actually and said that we'll tell them next time, that we have no need for the police.
My pal Prue and I quickly hopped onto a bus to Victoria and we had an early dinner at Mildreds before hopping onto our respective trains back to East Sussex.
