    Tonight, Thursday 17 November 2022, there's a programme on ITV at 8:30pm called Pets:  The Cost of Living - Tonight

    The reporter Chris Choi finds out how some owners are coping with the cost of living crisis.

    Animal Charities have lots of information on how to cope with the cost of living crisis as they are very much affected by it, so if you are in a position to help them, please contact your local one and see what you can do.

    Pet food banks have been springing up everywhere - here's our list of pet food banks in the UK (which we're adding to).

    Meantime, take a look at Cats Protection who have ways to help and the RSCA who amongst other things have advice for horse/pony owners  plus looking after exotic pets

    This event is absolutely horrific - PETA have just sent an email about it and PETA is urging us all to sign a petition asking the Spanish to stop it.

    Help End the Sadistic 'Fire Bull' Festival in Soria

    Warning, there is a horrible picture as you click through of a bull and fire, but please, please scroll down fast and get the petition signed.  The sooner the Spanish cancel this horrible event the better.  It has no place in the modern world.  

    This is still going on in 2024, so PETA need our support.

    Derbyshire Wildlife Trust have just launched their new digital adoption packs so you can adopt an animal with them through a digital scheme.

    or how about adopting a badger?

    You can choose - there's an adopt a hedgehog, adopt a beaver and adopt a badger.  The hard part is surely choosing which animal to adopt. 

    Digital adoption packs will include a certificate, a photo of your animal, a guide packed with top tips on your animal and a subscription to the seasonal online wildlife magazine.  Why not sponsor an animal for the nature lover in your life?
