The upcoming Irish general election on 29th November 2024 is a critical opportunity to ensure that animal rights are firmly on the political agenda. By contacting your local candidates, you can help demonstrate that compassion for animals is a priority for voters across Ireland.

By clicking the mailto link for each of your constituency’s candidates below, you can easily send a message to all the candidates in your constituency, asking them where they stand on key animal rights issues such as preventing horrific conditions in Irish pig farms and banning live exports.

This is the email that the mailto link sends:

Hi [Candidate],

I was hoping to get your stance on several issues that are important for me, before deciding on my vote in the upcoming election. 

My priorities are:

• Support a grant for farmers who want to transition from animal-based farming high in methane, nitrate, ammonia pollution, to more sustainable plant-based farming.
• Ban live animal exports. 
• Ban the culling of male chicks in egg and broiler industries.
• End the horrendous conditions in pig farming right now [note this contains disturbing material so viewer discretion is advised: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GcpQNIEpG0]
• Ban animal testing of botox (as cell based assays are widely available). 
• Support a bill recognising animal sentience (as the UK has recently done). 

Thank you for taking the time to consider my concerns. I believe these issues are critical for building a more sustainable Ireland with higher standards of animal welfare. I would greatly appreciate your response, so I can take it into account on my ballot.
