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.A man has been found guilty of having sex with his ex-wife's bull mastiff dog.
Kelly Thacker told Gloucester Crown Court she was shocked to discover Nicholas Saunders, 46, in her bed having intercourse with the dog on 15 January last year.
Saunders, who separated from Ms Thacker 13 years ago, denied a bestiality charge and claimed his ex-wife had seen him merely "climbing over the dog" to get out of bed. The case was adjourned for pre-sentence reports until 27 July.
