Hayling Island based animal charity Sasha Animal Foundation are now officially running the Purple Poppy Appeal in remembrance of animals from war torn countries.
Founder Julie Betterton-Trew says,
“I like many others were disappointed that Animal Aid stopped producing the Purple Poppy. So I decided to approach the. asking if they would allow us at Sasha Animal to run the appeal. They agreed for us to officially run it as long as we agreed with their stance that ‘animals are victims and not heroes of war’, which we have taken on.”
