Please ask Wood Green, The Animals Charity, to go veggie in their cafe and restaurant.

Wood Green, The Animals Charity, performs fantastic work rehabilitating and rehoming thousands of animals every year. As well as traditional companion animals like cats, dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs, they care for chickens, mice, goats, sheep, pigs, ferrets and more. They appear to care for the welfare of all animals. 

However, Wood Green's Godmanchester restaurant and cafe continues to serve up the dead bodies of these very same animals. Whilst inviting visitors to tickle the tummy of Boris the pot-bellied pig, they carve roast pork, grill sausages, and slice ham. Whilst boasting of rehoming nearly 3000 previously caged chickens, they fry chicken nuggets and fill sandwiches with chicken flesh and eggs - the very product these birds were caged and exploited for. Other field animals fare little better, turned into chops, burgers and mince. It's time for this hypocrisy to end, for the sake of the animals. 

Wood Green's own mission states they want to "increase the public's awareness of its responsibility towards animals in society". We are asking Wood Green to take a stand and to show its customers that caring for animals also means leaving them off your plate.

Removing meat from the menu need not harm the income Wood Green receives. The popularity of vegetarian and vegan diets is growing enormously for ethical, health and environmental reasons. National restaurant chains are already expanding their vegan options and just recently both Cambridge and Norwich have opened 100% vegan cafes to high acclaim. Many people simply wouldn't realise they weren't eating animals with the abundance of animal-free products like burgers, sausages, mince, nuggets, and dairy-free milks and cheeses, now readily available. Delicious cakes and desserts can also easily be made cruelty-free with existing local bakeries happy to supply. Regardless, profit shouldn't come at the expense of animal lives.

Adapting the restaurant and cafe to a fully vegetarian menu with vegan options would show the world that Wood Green really does care for animals.
