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: We have bred dogs over a period in excess of 15 years, all of which, puppies included, have been fed daily on raw tripe, which consists largely of beef offal, as does much of the tinned dog food on the market. Over this period we have never seen a single case of anything that could be considered to express the symptoms of BSE or CJD in our dogs or their offspring.

How small is the "extremely small" risk of contracting CJD?
