Big Congratulations to Keith and Jean, and also Green newcomer Molly, for remaining as Members of the European Parliament for the next five years. Keith and Jean have been / will be fantastic supporters and campaigners for animal welfare in the EU for the future. We look forward to working with them in the future. SAV.
As you can see from the following links, Green MEP for the South East of England, Keith has gone out of way to specifically help us regarding the welfare of stray animals in Serbia. At this present time, Serbia is not even a member state of the EU, but Mr. Taylor; a very dedicated animal welfare campaigner, has decided that our case for helping Serbian animals is a strong one, and he has personally given his full help and backing to our work.
Here are some links which directly show this:

Keith works very much with London Green MEP Jean Lambert and regularly publishes a magazine for animal welfare which is called ‘Making Tracks’ Keith has spoken out with many UK citizens on the issue of the UK badger cull, an issue which you know we have carried a lot of posts about over the past year or more.
Unlike almost other MEPs of other political parties, Keith runs an animal rights / welfare section on his website – which you can view at: http://www.keithtaylormep.org.uk/category/animal-rights/
Dear Mark,
The results for the European Parliament elections are now in, and I’m delighted to say I have been re-elected to serve you as the Green MEP for the South East for the next five years. I’m particularly pleased to be going back to Brussels with Jean Lambert MEP and a new Green MEP for South West England, Molly Scott Cato.
At this election Greens represented the politics of hope and i’m glad thousands chose to use their vote to re-elect me to the European Parliament.
For the next 5 years, I will push for a greener, fairer Europe. That means things like:
– Continuing to take action against spiraling bankers bonuses.
– Tougher laws to protect us from air pollution.
– Clamping down on the fracking firms aiming to carve up our countryside.
– Resisting austerity across Europe.
I’ll also continue to work on behalf of you, my constituents. If you have an issue you’d like to raise with me please do get in touch.
Thanks again for your support.
Your Green Party MEP,
Keith Taylor
