Vegan Rascals Collection: A Violet’s Vegan Comics compilation edition containing all the stories so far from Megan & Flos, The English Family Anderson, and Venus Aqueous.
The only thing these intriguing, exciting and often humorous stories have in common is that their protagonists do not pretend it’s okay to imprison, enslave or kill animals, and they’re not afraid to break the rules.

And here are the answers to Friday’s crossword:
This is actually not an exhaustive list of scientifically valid (ie animal-free) methodologies, it’s just that if I’d included anymore it would have made the puzzle really small. I mean, the puzzle would have been bigger in that there would have been more questions and answers, but it would have been on a page the same size so the writing would have been too small. For me anyway 😉
But if you want to find out more about this stuff, click on the teddy bear. That highly-rated book, by the way, is already in our local library. Maybe it’s in yours too 🙂
Stuck on some of the questions? You can find all the information needed to complete this puzzle on the Safer Medicines site: go to https://safermedicines.org/resources/ and click Frequently Asked Questions 🙂

When Crustacean Compassion began back in 2016, it was with an aim to protect these fragile animals from pain and suffering. They began their campaign to get them included in the animal welfare legislation, and since then over 65,000 AMAZING supporters have joined them and signed their petition calling on the UK government to include decapod crustaceans in the Animal Welfare Act 2006 (England and Wales).
Will a new government mean new protections?
The last UK government legally recognised that decapods could feel pain, and historically included them in the Animal Welfare (Sentience) Act 2022 but… that is where they stopped. So Crustacean Compassion are calling on you again, to tell the new Labour government to act now and protect decapods. With this new government we have an excellent chance of getting decapods the protection they deserve, but we need your help.
“Climate change has led to altered rainfall patterns and increased temperatures, resulting in periods of drought and reduced water availability for many donkeys, and cattle in communities where LAWCS works in Guinea. The animals are now suffering from heat stress, food insecurity including fresh water and healthcare issues. LAWCS continues to respond to the needs of working animals in Guinea by educating the population and providing free veterinary care along with foods and fresh water for animals in need.”

“Promoting animal protection through education and providing plant-based foods for school kids is a holistic approach to instilling values of compassion, kindness, sustainability, and health. By integrating animal welfare education into school curriculums, students can learn about the ethical considerations surrounding animal treatment and the environmental impact of animal agriculture. Additionally, offering plant-based food options in schools not only supports these values but also encourages healthier eating habits and reduces the demand for animal products, thereby contributing to the welfare of animals. This is a dual strategy that educates children about the importance of treating animals with kindness while providing practical choices that align with these values. Every week, LAWCS serves over 300 school children with delicious plant-based foods.”

What does the General Election mean for Crustacean Compassion?
On Wednesday May 22, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak surprised everyone by announcing that a General Election will be held on Thursday 04 July. In doing so, he fired the starting pistol on a six-week campaign where politicians will criss-cross the country vying for your votes.
Animal welfare always ranks high in the list of priorities for voters, and Crustacean Compassion will be working hard to ensure that the voice of decapods is heard throughout. These special animals were recognised as sentient in UK law over two years ago, but since then progress on increasing their legal protections and improving their treatment in the food industry has stalled.
What happens next? Crustacean Compassion has already written to the political party leaders to seek their support and next week will be contacting all the candidates directly to ask them to support these pledges.
But they need your help. Watch out for updates on their social media channels for details on how you can help us reach as many candidates as possible and make sure that decapods have the strongest possible voice in the new parliament.
They’ll also be sharing more information about how you can get involved with this campaign in your local area.
Their new campaign to ban live sales They’ve launched this new petition to show the new government that decent people in the UK support a full ban on the live decapods being sold as food. Every day in the UK animals like crabs, lobsters, prawns and crayfish are sold alive to the untrained public to be killed and cooked at home. This causes EXTREME pain and suffering to these fragile, sentient animals.
