Dear John,

Every year our festive campaign fights for reindeer who are cruelly used as props for entertainment in the run up to Christmas. And every year you help us to take action for them.

So I'm thrilled to share with you that already, thanks to your incredible support, we are seeing huge success in 2023:
 

  • Wrexham Council has refused plans to build a new reindeer farm! We called on you to take action back in September to oppose these exploitative plans, so this is a huge victory for reindeer! Thank you for fighting for the freedom of animals with us.
  • The annual Oldham Parade is reindeer-free this year! Last year, you, and 590 more of our supporters took a stand and contributed to our online action against this event last year - so without you this success would not be possible. Thank you!
  • Other major events we've campaigned against in previous years have told us that they are going animal-free this year too, including the annual Hamilton Parade and Flintshire Christmas Market!
And we recently brought you the news that we have joined up with 10 charities to send a joint letter to events using live reindeer. This letter has now been sent to 140 events, and so we hope to share more news of events going animal-free soon!
Make your Christmas gift go further for animals

Donate from midday on 28th November to 5th December and your donation could be MATCHED, thanks to a group of special donors.

Your gift will be used to further our Tether and Torment campaign and help birds of prey in captivity, so don't miss out on this amazing opportunity!

At Freedom for Animals we believe that the ‘Christmassy’ feeling we all know and love doesn’t need to come at the expense of innocent animals.

That is why every action you take is so valuable and crucial in the fight to help animals facing exploitation this year and beyond. I'm so grateful for all you do, and I hope to be sharing many more victories with you in the months to come!

Thank you!
