The RSPCA is calling for a new animal welfare law which will give animals involved in legal proceedings in the South West the chance to be rehomed much more quickly.
Currently, some neglected and abused pets which are rescued by the RSPCA as part of an investigation cannot be rehomed until the case itself has completed, which sadly means some animals can wait months and even years before finding their second chance.
As part of its Second Chances campaign, the charity is calling for a change in the law which would mean an animal’s future is no longer dependent on court...

Ever wondered how the audio show you are listening to on your mobile phone reaches from the radio station to your handset invisibly without the sim, wire, or internet?
Well, it’s all the magic of radio broadcasting. Your radio set or the radio fitted in your cell phones use the radio waves to carry the information like sound, music, etc. The technology was developed in 1885 to transfer information instead of telegraphs but soon it gets application in general broadcasting by 1920 and is still a great telecommunication medium.

This year the theme of International Women’s Day is “Choose to Challenge”. More than half of the Labour candidates standing in the local elections in May are women, choosing to challenge the stereotype that the UK average councillor is 59, white, male (and called David or John).
Exeter Labour is leading the way in representing gender equality in local government candidates. Some are experienced councillors while others are standing for the first time but many are pictured here raising their hands in support of IWD to show that they commit to choose to challenge and call out inequality....
It’s International Women’s Day (8 March) and Dignity Funerals are taking this opportunity to recognise the dedication of thousands of female funeral professionals in the UK who are caring for the bereaved and those they’ve lost, day-in-day-out.
Once a rarity in what was previously a traditionally male-dominated profession, there are now many female Funeral Directors, Arrangers and Crematorium Managers helping families to say farewell to their loved ones that have died.
In pre-Victorian times, before funeral directing became a profession, the practical tasks required when...
Gorging on meat on weekends on any special days is always a treat. You would get thousands of recipes online or on YouTube to prepare a delicious meal. But what is the core part of that delicious meat recipe? The meat itself. Getting a slice of tender fresh meat is always important to prepare that yummy weekend special meat delicacy. Meat is a rich source of vitamins, proteins and minerals, but it should be limited as it is advised not to consume more than 90gms in a day. You can either get fresh meat or frozen meat. You will also get the chilled variant. There is always a war of words...
