Purple PoppiesTo commemorate all the animal victims, Animal Aid has issued a purple poppy, which can be worn alongside the traditional red one, as a reminder that both humans and animals have been – and continue to be – victims of war. During human conflicts, animals have been used as messengers, for detection, scouting and rescue, as beasts if burden and on the front-line. They have been used for companionship in the trenches and continue to be subjected to horrific warfare experiments in laboratories. Please wear a purple poppy and help to raise awareness of these forgotten victims.
