Here’s a link to the Labour Animal Welfare Society and their Local Authority Animals Charter. You can download the charter, which has nine sections addressing a variety of animal issues. Back in the mid-1980s when the Grumpy Vegan worked for the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection, he introduced the Animals Charter for first time ever to a local authority — the London Borough of Islington — which adopted it. Here’s what the Islington Council says about it today. After Islington’s adoption of the Animals Charter, one of the first steps the council took was to redirect funds from its pest control budget to help local groups trap, neuter and return feral cats. This work continues to this day.
