Extraordinary to think legislation in Ireland from nearly 400 years ago covered animal welfare! And #WorldAnimalDay coincides with #WorldSmileDay 🐑🐐🐎🤗
Thanks to @UCD_CHAS for celebrating #WorldAnimalDay! Ireland's 1st law on #AnimalWelfare dates back to 1635 - it focused on 'barbarous' acts eg attaching the plough to a horse's tail and pulling wool from live sheep 😱 In 2021 @ucddublin became a partner in @eurcaw_re

Your kindness can kill a bumblebee 💔
📢 Please share! Bumblebee queens are starting to emerge from hibernation. British weather isn’t always ideal and people with the best intentions can cause more harm good. Let’s change that.
