Humanity’s true moral test

“Humanity’s true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals.”
Milan Kundera The Unbearable Lightness of Being, 1984

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated " Mahatma Gandhi

Don't Build an Airport on the Thames Estuary

The Thames Estuary forms a home for thousands of birds, mammals, reptiles and insects, including hen harriers and golden plovers. The estuary contains several protected areas, because it forms a vital breeding and over wintering ground for so much wildlife.

Plans to concrete over large areas of the estuary to build a new airport are in motion, with a consultation due in March this year, despite Britain trying to reduce its carbon emissions.

Building the planned airport, referred to as "Boris Airport" because it has enthusiastic support from Boris Johnson, the mayor of London, has been described as "an act of vandalism" by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
