Born Free launches Elephants in Crisis appeal
International wildlife charity the Born Free Foundation has launched an Elephants in Crisis appeal to help tackle devastating declines in numbers. On average, around 55 elephants are killed by poachers each year, equating to one every 25 minutes. There are now less than half a million elephants in Africa, compared to a century ago, when there were around five million. <br> <br>

In order to assist in the appeal, you can sign the charity’s ivory petition, adopt Born Free’s elephant family, support its ivory amnesty to donate. For more information visit www.bornfree.org.uk

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
