This Roundup blog includes all the news and animal welfare activity from February and March.

From the importance of the Animal Sentience Bill in the UK to our attitudes to wolves, from polar bears to climate change, and from the ‘rain bomb’ in Australia to the importance of understanding what goes into pet food.

Please do catch up on the articles, blogs and extensive social media support for all these stories, plus so much more.
