BREAKING! Supporters of Animal Rising have run onto the tracks ahead of the Grand National Handicap Race, delaying the race indefinitely. In the UK alone, 49 horses have died or been killed so far this year due to horseracing: this is unacceptable. We are a nation of animal lovers - we shouldn't be harming animals for entertainment, food or any other reason. It's time to create a kinder future.

We are here to remember the two beautiful dogs Marshall and Millions who were killed by the Met Police earlier this week, to remember all the human and non-human lives that are taken every day at the hands of the state and the police, and to hold the Met Police accountable for their actions. Just as with the return of Love and Libby, the two rescued beagles who were devastatingly returned back to a life of torturous animal testing, the police have once again failed to serve and protect lives. Thank you to everyone who has turned up for this vigil. To get involved with this movement and create a safer, kinder future for all life, come along to a Nonviolence Training near you! They're happening up and down the country, are fun, free all day trainings designed to get you clued up on taking action and meeting likeminded people near you!

On Saturday we took peaceful action at the Grand National, to save lives and bring about a kinder world. In response we were brutalised by police and private security, we've experienced broken bones, dog bites and pepperspray. Is this what democracy looks like? However aggressive the police may become, we will remain non violent and undeterred because this is the right thing to do, and the best way to bring about societal change. Please donate to support our actions and incredible activists. Link in bio #GrandNational #PoliceBrutality #AnimalRights

This is the second death of this year's Grand National after Envoye Special was killed on Thursday. This horrific 'sport' continues to take lives right in front of our eyes. It's time to BAN this horrific industry. Please SIGN and SHARE our petition to cancel the Grand National 💔 actionnetwork.org/petitions/… Rest in peace Dark Raven and Envoye Special. We will not stop until there is change. #AnimalJustice

This is heartbreaking. These are the two dogs who were murdered on Monday by the police. When one of our supporters had met the two dogs on the tube recently (and taken these photos), their human companion had spoken of how much he adored the two and how soppy they were. And just like that, they're gone - thanks to yet another abuse of power from the Met. After a weekend of stripping citizens of their human right to protest, this shooting of innocent dogs has angered thousands of us. This isn't the future we want - for us, or for other animals. We deserve a kinder world than this. Come together with us tomorrow at 8pm, to hold a candlelit vigil in memory of these two dogs killed by the police, and create a space to celebrate all life. 🐕🐄🐖🐎 Thursday • 8pm • Scotland Yard #MetPolice #AnimalRising #AnimalJustice

Our aim was always to start this conversation and we are glad that it is finally happening. Today's action was just the beginning.

!! BREAKING !! 25 supporters of Animal Rising have made it onto the track at the Scottish Grand National, to put their bodies in the way of harm, and protect animals. They're attempting to attach themselves to jumps and gates in order to cancel the big race. This afternoon 8 year old Oscar Elite died on the very same track. We take action today with them in our hearts. A horse dies every other day in racing in the UK. We are here to protect horses by saying NO to this barbaric 'sport.' There are plenty of other things we can have fun doing on a Saturday afternoon that don't involve watching animals come to harm. Last week at Aintree was just the beginning.

🚨BREAKING! Three supporters of Animal Rising were arrested in house raids the afternoon before the Greyhound Derby final. 🚨 The police have reached new levels of absurdity, including taking a seven-year-old’s tablet along with the entire family’s tech in a house raid. This is the same police force that shot and killed two innocent dogs at the beginning of May.  This comes before supporters of Animal Rising even got within distance of Towcester Racecourse. Those arrested by the police were peaceful supporters who were trying to protect dogs. The increase in the suppression of dissent and peaceful protest is a threat to our democracy, and every day we see our democracy withering more and more. Despite these challenges, we will proceed with our intentions to disrupt the Greyhound Derby final tomorrow. The police have tried to stop us from protecting these greyhounds, but we will continue to put our bodies on the line to protect animals, and advocate for a better future FOR ALL LIFE. We need your help to create a kinder, freer, and safer world for both animals and humans. If you’d like to help support us, please consider donating to support those affected by raids and arrests (Link in bio). We are truly grateful for every donation made, and we thank you for your support.

More than 49 horses have died in the UK in horse racing events so far this year alone. We didn't cause those deaths and we haven't caused any today. Horrific, heartbreaking deaths like these are an inevitable consequence of exploiting these animals for entertainment - and it has to stop. The only way to stop these deaths is to stop using animals (for food or for fun) - and this is exactly what we are asking for. #CancelTheGrandNational #AnimalRights

On Saturday hundreds of our incredibly brave supporters took action at Aintree Racecourse - 118 to the point of arrest. They are a group of inspiring and compassionate animal lovers, who were prepared to put their bodies in the way of harm to get the message out there that this barbaric event needs to stop! They succeeded in disrupting the race, and sparking a national conversation about the cruelties of the horseracing industry - three horses died at this year's Grand National Festival alone, following 4 deaths last year! Please show your support by donating, to enable us to continue taking these actions, so that we can create a world free from animal harm - and to ensure that this year was the very last Grand National.

⚠️UPDATE: Ben has been remanded to prison until the 6th of July. As an animal lover, Ben stood up on Saturday to try and prevent horses being harmed and to continue the crucial public conversation about our broken relationship with animals and nature. For those acts, he has been remanded to prison for a month without trial. Our democracy is on its knees, where wealthy companies can buy laws and where the right to protest is being eroded further each day. Protest is a fundamental human right. When a government becomes increasingly aggressive towards protesters instead of addressing their concerns, well... that doesn't look great on them. We are so proud of Ben's bravery. Ben is selfless, a person who has for years dedicated himself to fighting for a better future for animals, and for all of us. Last year, Ben took part in two separate rescues of beagles bred for animal testing at MBR Acres. He saved those lives and never once doubted that it was the right thing to do. And his attempt to stop the harm done to horses in racing is much the same. The horseracing industry is cruel and outdated. Standing up for what's right will always be the admirable thing to do. Donate to support ordinary people standing up for what's right. chuffed.org/project/animal-r… If you want to find out more about taking action, and get yourself involved in this movement for All Life, come along to a Nonviolence Training! forms.gle/3v38qhr9cYty5veYA #AnimalRising #PoliceOppression #EpsomDerby

Most of us know that our government wants to end the right to protest, or make it so difficult that people are scared of the now brutal repression from the police and in the legal system. This is why they've sent our friends Marcus and Morgan to prison - and for what? For trying to save lives. But you cannot intimidate people who know that they’re doing the morally right thing. We know we’re doing the right thing for animals, for the planet, for each other. We stand with @JustStop_Oil, with Marcus and Morgan, and everyone acting to end the insanity of climate collapse. #JustStopOil #Solidarity #PeoplePower

What do Animal Rising and Just Stop Oil have in common? We all want a safe, secure, liveable future. We are at a point in history when unity in action is the only hope for our future. The government is putting us all at risk with policies resulting in further climate and ecological breakdown. Just earlier this month the world saw the hottest week ever recorded. But the solutions are within our grasp. Reliable, affordable renewable energy and a transition to a plant-based food system that would free up a significant amount of land for rewilding - enabling carbon drawdown and nature restoration. We need to stand together and make sure we still have a liveable planet for ourselves and future generations.

We will never stop taking action for animal justice. Oscar Elite (pictured) fell at today's Scottish Grand National and was killed shortly after. This is heart-breaking and unnecessary, in a world that has so much potential to just be kind. We don't need to be forcing these beautiful creatures into such dangerous positions. We don't need to be breeding more of them and killing the ones who aren't good enough. It's all so unnecessary. At 3pm, around 25 supporters of Animal Rising attempted to get on to the tracks and prevent the next race from going ahead. Unfortunately, with an enormous and heavy-handed police presence, everyone (and the fences they were attached to) was swiftly removed from the tracks. But we will never stop taking action. We have an opportunity to build a kinder future where animals are no longer exploited for entertainment, food or any other cause. Please sign our petition to bring an end to this cruel sport. (Link in Bio) Rest in peace to Oscar Elite, and to all of the horses who weren't fast or strong enough and didn't even make it that far. 💔 #ForAllLife

Brian May announced his resignation as Vice President of the RSPCA last night, due to the RSPCA’s refusal to denounce and finally drop the @rspcaassured scheme, despite undercover investigations spanning 16 years finding shocking conditions on Assured farms. Rose Patterson, the lead investigator on the RSPCA campaign said: “Brian is right in saying the RSPCA have sacrificed their integrity. By supporting this scheme through scandal after scandal, the RSPCA has turned its back on its core values of protecting all animals. We have shown conclusively that these farms aren’t just a few bad apples - the whole scheme is rotten. “60 animal protection groups have come together to urge the RSPCA to finally drop this awful scheme, which is tarnishing the good work done elsewhere by the RSPCA. When someone as committed to animal protection as Brian May has to denounce the charity he loves, it’s clear the game is up. Our investigations have shown that even at the so-called highest standard, cruelty is endemic in animal farming. As the world’s largest animal charity, the RSPCA needs to drop the scheme and stop endorsing the use of animals on farms.” @DrBrianMay also signed an open letter released yesterday in the @Independent, which was inspired by the rescue of Charlie the pig, who was saved by Animal Rising campaigners from an RSPCA Assured farm. You can read the open letter and Charlie’s story here: forcharlie.love

🔥🔥BREAKING: Animal Rising Supporters Disrupt Greyhound Derby Final Day in Towcester 🔥🔥 Three brave Animal Rising Supporters have climbed a screen inside the Towcester Racecourse around 12:00 today. They intend to stay until the races are due to begin later. Animal Rising has been informed that THE RACETRACK WILL NOT BE IN USE while the protesters are at height - protecting greyhounds from coming to harm on the track and continuing “a national conversation about our broken relationship with other animals and nature.” Can you imagine a world where every sports stadium is required to be equipped with a freezer for storing the bodies of the athletes that die while competing? That is the dystopian reality of greyhound racing. This industry, which sees a death of an innocent creature every 3 days, has been present in the UK for far too long. As a nation of animal lovers, we must finally put an end to the exploitation of “man's best friend.” This is the beginning of the end of greyhound racing in the UK. If you want to help us fight for a better world FOR ALL LIFE join us at The March for Animals and Nature, on the 26th of August in London. Join hundreds of animal lovers taking a stand and protecting life. (Link to event details in Bio) #GreyhoundRacing #TowcesterDerby #AnimalRising #CutTheChase #GreyhoundDerby #YouBetTheyDie

UPDATE: Beau sanctuary hopes slips away 💔 With our petition to Save Beau at almost 40,000 signatures, it’s clear the public wants Beau to live out her life in peace after she was repeatedly hit by a Surrey police car before being returned to the farm she escaped from. We have been in communication with a number of great sanctuaries who have offered to give her a happy home, we understand some individuals have even offered the farmer some money for her release. We hear these offers have so far been declined because Beau is a ‘prized breeding heifer’ and will be used to produce pedigree calves before, eventually, meeting the same heartbreaking fate suffered by every other cow in animal agriculture. The media has also lost all interest in Beau’s heartbreaking story and have stopped reporting on her, which lessens the hopes that public pressure could encourage her release. Our next option would be to go onto the farm without permission and rescue Beau, but because of how widely her story was talked about, guaranteeing safety in a sanctuary is practically impossible. No matter how much effort we can put into rescuing her from the farm, her ‘fame’ would put any sanctuary at a high risk of shutting down if found by the authorities. We’re terribly sad to say there is nothing we can do for her. Beau’s story has touched so many of us who connected to her as an individual. After fighting so hard for her, we all feel heartbroken, as we’re sure many of you do who are reading this. We all, as animal lovers who see clearly the injustice of animal farming, experience this grief as a familiar feeling. Beau is, of course, just like so many other cows trapped in the farming industry. Each one are living, breathing, feeling beings who suffer greatly, and all deserve love and affection. It is for Beau and every calf like her that we promote a transition to a plant-based world, and it is for all farmed animals like her we have exposed the lies of the RSPCA Assured scheme, which maintains this horrendous industry by covering up the cruelty suffered by so many. We will continue doing this, holding Beau in our hearts. There are still so many lives to save. #AnimalFreedom #ForBeau #SaveBeau

The panicked actions of these horses just before today's main race can bust the racing industry's myths better than we can: "They're just a bit excited." No. They're anxious and don't want to race. "They love to race." No. They love to run. Those are two different things. And in this case, many are running out of fear. Horses run naturally from fear of being left behind by the pack and attacked as prey. "They're trained for this." Really? Then why do they need to be controlled by excruciating metal mouth bits? These “equine athletes” did not get a choice in this matter, they never signed up for this or were informed of the risks. If instances like these, the bravery of Running Lion yesterday and White Birch today aren’t examples of individuals showing that they don’t want to do this, then what is? When will we listen to the horses when they tell us "NO"? We were not the only ones protesting today. These animals will continue to resist, and for as long as they do, we will stand up for all life. If, like us, you stand in solidarity with animals, then please join us at a Nonviolence Training and be part of this incredible community! forms.gle/3v38qhr9cYty5veYA #AnimalRising #AnimalLiberation #EndAnimalExploitation

Our supporters are being released from custody this morning after attempting to stop the Scottish Grand National. They have been met with the heartbreaking news that a second horse died yesterday. Mighty Thunder died of a heart attack after running in the race that devastatingly we couldn’t stop. Despite this tragedy we are more determined than ever to continue our mission to protect all animals. Today we are yet again making the headlines, telling the story of what happened to Oscar Elite and Mighty Thunder, and getting people talking about important issues. Most importantly how we can fix our broken relationship with other animals and the natural world. All this, because brave individuals decided to step up and put their bodies in the way of harm. Come along to one of our weekly zoom calls, Wednesday at 6pm, to hear about what comes next and how you can join us in taking action to end animal cruelty.

Is this democracy? Does this look like a government who respects our right to protest? Today some 20 people were arrested at an Animal Rising NonViolence training miles from the coronation. Today, a billionaire and his family are enjoying a lavish celebration as he is crowned King of a country of unrest, full of citizens unable to feed themselves or heat their homes. We are citizens not subjects. Our right to peaceful protest is slipping away in front of our eyes, and there has never been a more crucial time to act than now. We are the people - they can't silence us with parades and jewels, handcuffs and cells. We are stronger than that, and we must continue to rise. To support these innocent people who have been falsely arrested, please donate. chuffed.org/project/animal-r… #democracy #coronation #notmyking

The national conversation we NEED to have about our treatment of animals is happening. We need to stop viewing animals as expendable, and as property. Horse racing is a cruel “sport” - there is an alternative. A world where animals are not commodities and instead are treated with kindness and respect.

Ben is free!!! After taking action to protect animals at the Epsom Derby, Ben was remanded for a month to Wandsworth prison. Today at his hearing, he was given an 18 week suspended sentence alongside community service. Despite this, he is in good spirits and grateful for all the kind letters and donations that helped to cover his rent. 🙏 Of course, he still has ongoing court and legal costs, so please consider donating to support him. (Donation link in bio)  Ben has already said he'll be there on the 26th of August to march for Animals and Nature!! (and may or may not be convinced to give a speech! 👀). This is one you won't want to miss, so please share with family and friends! (More information on the march in the link in our bio) #animalfreedom #benfreedom

We’re saddened to see that the footage we shared yesterday with the intention to highlight the Met Police’s violent crime and urge people to attend a vigil outside Scotland Yard, has been marked as a rule violation. This distressing and heartbreaking footage is still widely available across Twitter, and we hope to see many more individuals coming forth to condemn these brutal actions by the police and attend tomorrow’s vigil. We understand that violent and upsetting content isn’t always what people want to see - but this is reality, and silencing those who expose it puts you in dodgy territory @Twitter @elonmusk See you all tomorrow at Scotland Yard - 8pm ❤️️ #MetPolice #AnimalRising #AnimalJustice

We regret to hear the tragic news from Aintree Racecourse this afternoon that 9 year old horse Envoye Special has died from fatal injuries during the 4:05pm Foxhunters chase - on the first day of this year's Grand National Horseracing Festival. This was their first time running on the infamous track at Aintree which took the lives of 4 other horses in last year's Festival alone. No animal should die in the name of sport or food. We are supposed to be a nation of animal lovers, it's time we rally together to protect the horses at Aintree and cancel the Grand National. We will no longer be bystanders to this suffering. Let's create a world in which no animal has to be subjected to the cruelty that Envoye Special experienced. This weekend we will hold them in our hearts as we take direct action to stop this barbaric and outdated practice.

🚨BREAKING: Biggest scandal in RSPCA history! 👉Go to animalrising.org to watch the full video and sign the petition! We have investigated over 40 RSPCA Assured farms in the last few months. We have seen thousands of animals living in overcrowded and filthy sheds, living and dying in pain from lack of care. The RSPCA is failing to protect millions of animals stuck in farms nationwide. They talk of 'improving the lives of farmed animals', but place their seal of approval on farms and practices which go against every standard they claim to endorse. #AnimalRising #ForAllLife #AnimalRights #AnimalLiberation #AnimalLover #RSPCAAssured #RSPCA #AnimalWelfare #AnimalRescue @rspcaassured @RSPCA_official

‼️URGENT: SIGN PETITION TO SEND THE ESCAPED MILITARY HORSES TO A SANCTUARY‼️ Petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/… We all are shocked by the images of the blood-covered horses, that were running through London today morning. This horrifying image is a clear display of how we treat animals in today's society. Animals in distress have been escaping from slaughterhouses, farms and this time from a military rehearsal. We have to do better. These horses have served their country through no choice of their own. Now, it is time for us to serve them. ‼️We are urgently calling for those horses to be sent to a sanctuary where they can live out the rest of their lives in peace‼️

‼️⚠️BREAKING!!!⚠️‼️ Scottish supporters of Animal Rising gain access to the stage at the Royal Highland Show where the Golden Sheep Shearing World Championship is taking place! 3 individuals glued themselves to the gates behind which the sheep were kept, whilst others held posters detailing facts about the farming industry.  In this competition, sheep are used for entertainment and sheered in under 60 seconds, causing stress and often injury.  In the UK we have only 12% forest cover, while sheep grazing  accounts for 16% of land use. Switching to a plant-based food system would allow us to free up vast amounts of land for rewilding and protection against the climate crisis. We need to drastically change our relationship with animals and the natural world and create a safe place for all life. Please join us in standing up for nature. Come to our zoom call on Wednesday at 7pm to find out how to get involved. (Link in Bio)

‼️Breaking News: Sir Brian May Resigns as Vice-President of the RSPCA We’ve just learned that Sir Brian May is stepping down as Vice President of the RSPCA. Stating: "...as more and more damning evidence comes to light, I find the RSPCA's response completely inadequate..." he continued, "...I feel the only acceptable policy would have been the complete dismantling of the scheme. Instead, the RSPCA have tried to defend their position, and in doing so, in my view, have sacrificed their integrity." This couldn’t have been an easy decision. It takes incredible courage and conviction to stand up for animals, especially when you’ve witnessed the potential of an organisation like the RSPCA. Brian's hope for the RSPCA to return to its core mission of protecting all animals is one we all share and exactly why we are taking action. Thank you, Brian, for this powerful reminder that staying true to your values is what brings about real change. This will go down in history. 💚

This morning the Times exposed shocking practices at RSPCA Assured slaughterhouses, following the release of our undercover investigation. The RSPCA says they are taking the situation seriously, and has suspended 3 slaughterhouses, however this isn’t the case of one bad apple: this exposé proves no slaughter - RSPCA or otherwise - is humane. Improving welfare standards within these inherently flawed systems can only go so far. All farms and slaughterhouses in this investigation were chosen randomly, and serious welfare breaches were found at every single one. These are not isolated “bad apples” but indicative of deeper issues within the industry.
