In Chile Chico, greyhound racing was once part of national celebrations — until locals and animal groups demanded change.

For the first time, it’s gone. Real celebration isn’t cruelty, it’s compassion.

👉 Good News from Paris Fashion Week

Stella McCartney revealed something groundbreaking -plant-based feathers called FEVVERS.

They’re made entirely from plants — blades of grass that are naturally dyed.
Proving once again that luxury doesn’t need to come at an animal’s expense.

👉 British Airways Holidays, EasyJet Holidays, G Adventures, Trailfinders, and dozens more travel companies have now said NO to camel rides.

PETA Asia found camels and horses beaten with sticks and whips, left without water or shade, and so thin their ribs stick out.

Green Turtles are officially off the endangered list after years of conservation work and effort.

This Good News proves that we can do it if we put the effort and work in but we have a long way to go and a lot more wildlife on the list that needs saving.

These Adidas shoes are made from mushrooms. Yes, mushrooms.

Called the Stan Smith Mylo, they use mycelium instead of animal leather. It’s grown in a lab with renewable energy and turns into a material that looks and feels just like leather.

No animals die for these shoes.

This is incredible! For the first time in 400 years, beaver babies have been born in Northamptonshire!

Boudica & Alan were released earlier this year… and now they’ve started a family at the Nene Wetlands. 🌿

💚 Good news:

👉 The University of Kent has just become the first UK university to pledge never to carry out sepsis experiments on animals after hearing from PETA.

Kent’s decision is a big step forward: saying no to cruelty, yes to compassion, and yes to research that actually saves lives.

New York is finally phasing out horse-drawn carriages 🙌

After years of cruelty dressed up as tradition, these exhausted horses will no longer be forced to drag tourists through traffic. By 2026, they’ll be gone for good. 🐴🚫

Well done Animal Rising!!

Finally, some justice.

Six people who protested at the 2023 Grand National have been found not guilty. The jury recognised they weren’t reckless but acting out of genuine concern for horses. Caring about animals is not a crime. 🐎✊

🇨🇴 Colombia just made history: the Constitutional Court has upheld a national ban on bullfighting & cockfighting.

❌ No more cruelty for “tradition.”
✅ Animal welfare comes first.

A landmark win and a message to the world: cruelty belongs in the past.

🚫🐶 A puppy farm in Lincolnshire has been STOPPED.

74 objections swayed councillors, who saw dogs in sheds:
❌ No windows
❌ No light
❌ Locked 14 hrs overnight

The council said NO.

A win for dogs. A win for local voices. 🐾

Time will tell if this debate leads to real change but what’s certain is that we’ll keep up the pressure. This government needs to know we’re not going anywhere, and the public will keep demanding protection for British wildlife.

🌊 A Derby invention could change everything: the bubble barrier.

🫧 Walls of bubbles lift hidden waste from riverbeds.
🚤 A boat scoops it out.
⚡ In one test, it caught five tonnes in a single day.

And if the UK deployed just 7? We could become the first country in the world to lock plastic inland.
