My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Millions of animals are exploited every day for food, consumer products, so-called 'sports' or other forms of entertainment, as models for human disease, or are simply neglected. Issues of major concern include intensive farming, the use of animals in scientific research and testing, improper companion animal care and ongoing pressures on wildlife.

The need for a political party for the animals

With power comes responsibility, and as members of the most powerful species it is our duty to minimise the suffering of animals in our care or affected by our actions.

Yet, animals are not adequately protected by most political parties. Instead, they focus on other social issues, and animal issues are rarely taken seriously.

However, many voters share their lives with companion animals, and most do care about animals. Broad concern for animals is a mainstream priority, which is poorly reflected in the policies of most political parties.


Do you want real improvements for animals? Are you disappointed in the current political system? It's time to change! Join Animals Count!

The UK has a reputation for being the world's leading animal-loving nation. Let's prove it, with a new, exciting and democratic political party that is primarily focused on animals: Animals Count!
