In 2017, approximately 5,500 Scottish calves endured long, harrowing journeys by road and sea to Ireland, with many travelling onwards to Spain and Italy.

We asked for your support – and thousands of compassionate people like you contacted their MSP to urge them to back a motion launched in Holyrood for debate, calling on the Government to back a ban on live exports.
