Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: To me and surely to others it appears most strange that hunting is picked on to be banned by Act of Parliament. The degrading of the fox is infinitesimal compared with the deanimalising of many of our domestic animals; millions of battery hens and veal calves, among many others, are treated and considered as little more than factory units; is this not far worse than killing the odd fox? We have strange values today.
