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: The vociferators are in full cry again. They want hunting with hounds banned. Great. Let us also ban hunting with cats.

All right, cats do not hunt in packs. They do not need to. One cat by itself is a more ferocious killer than a pack of hounds. No training needed. Indeed, as cats are deemed untrainable, their owners are not held legally responsible for their acts. So let us ban cat owners.
