Take action

Lobbying decision makers has a huge impact and can be done without stepping foot outside your door.

Become a OneKind Animal Advocate

Join our OneKind Animal Advocate group of digital activists and help us to lobby decision-makers online on animal welfare issues. Through quick digital actions, such as signing petitions, letter writing, emailing decision-makers and posting on social media you help us to free Scotland's animals from suffering. You can expect to receive an email with a couple of short tasks monthly (depending on necessity) that can easily be done from home.

Sign the Don't Pet Me petition

We have joined forces with Born Free and Scottish SPCA to call on the Scottish Government to put an end to the suffering of wild animals in homes.

The Don't Pet Me campaign calls on the Government to introduce a permitted list of species that can legally be kept as pets. Listed animals would only be those who can have their needs met in domestic environments.
