Animal Rights and Climate Campaigner

Retired NHS GP who became plant-based for the climate, discovered the bigger picture of veganism as an ethical life stance, and remains vegan for animals. I have been involved in climate and animal rights activism since 2019, and am currently helping co-ordinate efforts to end greyhound racing, focusing on local campaigning at two Wolverhampton tracks.

The Shutdown Campaign (Wolverhampton) – Sarah Benn – Shutdown Greyhound Racing (Wolverhampton)

 

Many of the animal and specifically dog-loving general public, are unaware of the cruelty inherent in the greyhound racing industry. In 2024, a greyhound died every 3 days on one of the remaining 18 greyhound racing tracks in the UK. A national collaboration between Animal Aid and local grassroots groups is working to finally end this ‘sport’. Find out how you can help, from simple awareness raising to peaceful, (but eye-catching), public actions.
