Love Lambs Campaign

Read about our important year-round work, tackling one of the UK’s cruellest farming practices: routine tail-docking and castration of lambs.

And every September our Love Lambs Week campaign celebrates compassion, and a future where no lamb is seen as a meal. At a time when the meat industry runs ‘Love Lamb Week’ to encourage people to eat more lamb meat, our campaign shifts the focus from product to personality, from meat to life.

Vegetarian Society Response to the Defra Consultation on Mutilations in Lambs

Mary McCartney, photographer, filmmaker and sustainable food campaigner

"I grew up in a family where compassion for animals was simply part of everyday life, and it's a value I've carried with me ever since. It was actually my mother and father watching lambs frolicking happily in a field that was the catalyst to our family becoming vegetarian in the first place. That's why I'm proud to support the Vegetarian Society's call for us all to Love Lambs and end the routine tail docking and castration of these precious animals – painful procedures that I believe are unnecessary.
