Northern Ireland says "NO"  to Animal Cruelty This page was set up in March 2014 to campaign for a change in the lenient sentences handed out for animal cruelty offences in Northern Ireland.

Whilst our original aim continues to be our primary focus, this page has since evolved into a community of like-minded people, and a forum for people to come to voice their concerns, promote animal welfare, raise awareness of animal welfare issues, and get involved in the issues which concern them.

Feeding the Swans

It’s that time of year where natural food sources are scarce and the colder weather sets in so the swans look to people for food more than ever, especially where flocks congregate.

We have had a few calls asking us what to feed them….so thought the points below would be helpful…

🦢 Bread isn’t bad! We know it isn’t the most nutritious (the same as a McDonald’s isn’t the best for us) but it is better than nothing. Swans have been fed bread for many many years without problems and it doesn’t cause Angel Wing. Just please don’t use mouldy bread and always feed in the water!

🦢 Other options can include mixed corn/bird seed, sweetcorn, peas, floating pellets, cooked rice and porridge oats.

🦢Please ensure frozen peas/sweetcorn are defrosted before feeding.

🦢 Some food sinks so if the water is deep then consider options like bread or the floating pellets so the swans are able to get the food.

🦢 ALWAYS FEED IN THE WATER….firstly they need the water to help the food pass down their long neck but more importantly feeding out of the water leaves them vulnerable, especially to dog attacks. It may also encourage them to come out of the water in search of food and this can be dangerous if there are roads/car parks nearby.

Sadly many of the swans we are being called out to are underweight….a typical adult sized swan should weigh between 8kg - 12kg (some heavier) however we have picked up 3 cygnets just this week, all weighing around 4.5kg! Also we know Avian Flu hasn’t gone away and keeping them fed and healthy will mean they stand a better chance should the situation worsen…so anything you can spare to feed the swans this winter will make a difference.

Thank You 💙

Big shoutout to the degenerate inbreds from South Tyrone Foxhounds.

You’ve left at least three hounds behind from yesterday.

🐾 REHOMED ❤ 🐾

Marley & Puzzle

This beautiful pair are looking a home together where they can spend the rest of their lives being spoilt. They've had a difficult few months, having their original owner pass away and their new owner having sudden bad health issues - they really need a final spot to call their own.

They've been together their whole lives and would really struggle without each other.

Marley is the darker/black one of the pair and he is 10 years old.
Puzzle is white/tan and is 8 years old.
They're both house-trained and used to do agility. They're both amazing dogs.

They could potentially be rehomed with a smaller dog, pending successful meet and greet.

Home-checks will apply.
If interested, please contact Nadine (profile in comments below)

🐾 🐶 REHOME APPEAL 🐶 🐾

Gloria is a beautiful 8 year old English Bull Terrier.
Gloria’s owner sadly passed away recently and she’s seeking a new home to spend the rest of her life in.

She’s been incredibly well looked after - being spayed and has her vaccinations up to date. Gloria is fully house, lead and car trained.

Gloria would prefer a quiet life with a comfy sofa to call her own.

If you think you have a Gloria-shaped hole in your life, please contact Gina on the profile linked in the comments. ☺️

Home-checks apply.

If you're writing your Christmas cards out, please consider sending one to Sindre.

Sindre was incarcerated in a psychiatric unit, despite being of sound mind. This is a tactic being increasingly used across Europe in an attempt to dissuade activists from further activity upon release.

Sindre is a wonderful young lad with a bright future ahead of him and could really do with your support. He enjoys talking about nature, seeing your rescued animals and would just love a bit of support to keep his chin up.

Local communities are getting crafty in tackling unwanted huntscum!

How awesome is this? 🧑‍🎄 🦊 👏

LCCC are unnecessarily putting their dog wardens at risk. Given the high publicity of this case, we’d implore LCCC to be mindful of the impact this may have on their staff.

The anger from the general public over this completely unjust situation is overwhelming.

We ask the general public to direct their anger through peaceful avenues.

This is why BSL does not work. These people can legally take your dogs and leave them in kennels to rot until they assess them months later. Detrimental to the animal’s true wellbeing (regardless of what the law states). When the dog is found to not meet the required measurements, its return as if nothing happened and no apology.

They are stealing family members and in this case, a literal baby - under a piece of legislation that would make the n***s blush!

Great to see Captain Watson released from prison and looking happy and healthy! 🫡

Blessed are those who risk their liberty to highlight injustice!

*Anonymous report - image scrubbed of metadata*

Activists send a clear message at Silverwood Equestrian Arena. END FOXHUNTING NOW!

The arena plays host to members of the hunting community several times a week and, following this week’s news of North Down Hunt disbanding, activists took it upon themselves to remind the remaining groups that their days of terrorising rural communities are numbered.
