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.

All wards produce their side-benefits for civilian use, even if the development of nuclear power from the tragedies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is an ambiguous example. Some good could even come out of the current hostilities over the right to chase small furry mammals over the British countryside.

On Boxing Day, hunt saboteurs pushed at the envelope of human science and ingenuity in their attempts to throw the hounds off the scent of their quarry. They have used lemon juice, pepper, ultrasonic whistles and other stratagems too secret to publicise. When the hunting issue is finally decided by Parliament one way or the other, perhaps they will share their knowledge with the rest of us.

As a perusal of our letters page in recent weeks suggests, the one issue which concerns our readers almost as much as hunting (pro and anti) is cats' use of gardens as lavatories (anti). Anything that can stop a foxhound in full cry ought to be effective against the (semi-) domesticated cat. Please, hunt sabs, tell us what works.
