OneKind exists to end cruelty to Scotland’s animals. We expose cruelty and persecution through our investigations and research and end it for good by giving Scotland’s animals a voice.

We’re Scotland’s leading animal campaigns charity. We are based in Edinburgh, with volunteers across Scotland and the UK, and our work covers Scotland’s wildlife, farmed animals, companion and lab animals.

Our campaigns make a big difference. They end cruelty for good. From stopping the unrestricted killing of Scotland’s seals to preventing hedgehog culls and ending the docking of dog’s tails, our successes speak for themselves. All of our campaigns are completely people-powered. They’re funded by individuals and it’s our campaigners who email, write, volunteer, and protest who make all the difference.

One of our longest-running campaigns was to end the mass culling and persecution of mountain hares by securing their full protection. This was successful and announced in June (here’s the link to our blog Animals and Wildlife (Penalties, Protections and Powers) (Scotland) Bill will become law – OneKind) and takes effect from March 1st this year.

Fox hunting is also something we are passionate about ending – as although currently banned in Scotland to hunt with dogs, there are loopholes in the law that allow it to continue pretty much as was before.
