Labour’s Animal Welfare

Feeding urban foxes is placing the animals at much more risk of being poisoned or shot than dying of hunger

The Tories were supposed to ban the illegal smuggling of dogs and puppies but pulled back from making it law. I would like to see an end to this and stop the cruel, uncaring animal traffickers making money out of these poor animals.

if its illegal why does it need to be banned?

^He obviously didn't realise the supply would be available all winter! Poor thing spent hours doing it^ 😞
A peanut at a time? 😂

I know! I couldn't work out what he was doing at first.

He'd climb up to the peanut feeder, lift the lid, take one out and put it in his mouth, climb back down and run across to the border, dig a little hole with his front paws, drop the peanut in, scoop the soil back over it and pat the soil down.
Then do it all over again in a different part of the garden.

It was fascinating to watch, but the poor thing must have been exhausted 🥹

I have no time for squirrels. We had a huge hazel tree in our garden and also have a walnut. In nearly 30 years we have not eaten a single nut off either tree. The squirrels all get their first - and they still attack the bird table - although now I have read the vaseline trick, I will be out to apply it.

if the squirrels want to get into my good books they need to agree to share the nuts.

A few years ago we had a terrier and squirrels provided a lot of exercise for her, they used to sit in a tree or on the fence and chatter at her. Far too slow to catch them, the local cats were very wary and mostly kept away.

With due respect.I would prefer to have the squirrels rather than a dog.
