Change.org petition recently named as the 21st most successful in history!

December 12, 2018 By duncanmcnair

I am really delighted to have heard that the Change.org petition run by the charity I founded, Save The Asian Elephants www.stae.org has recently been named as the 21st most successful in history!

In August 2018 I and my STAE colleagues presented 3.1 million petition signatures to the Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street, a figure which has since risen by a further 500,000.

The strongest demonstration of public opinion that things must change is expressed by this weight of numbers, as it also is by the overwhelming results of the polling undertaken for STAE by Populus, showing strong British public support STAE’s policies for change.

These include a new law for a UK ban on the advertisement or promotion of unethical Asian elephant holidays abroad. Please please sign STAE’s petition at this crucial time for the elephants: www.stae.org

Finalist in the inaugural year of the Animal Star Awards

December 7, 2018 By duncanmcnair

You may know about my passionate and active interest in animal welfare issues and of my charity Save The Asian Elephants www.stae.org.

I was thrilled to learn recently that I had been nominated as a Finalist in the inaugural year of the Animal Star Awards for my charity and animal welfare work.

The announcement of the overall Winner took place at the splendid Mandolay Hotel in Guildford last month – a great occasion.

To say that I was still further thrilled to be announced as the Winner of the award for Animal Hero of the Year would be an understatement. There were some 850 entrants, judged by a panel of referees of great eminence in the animal welfare world. I am very grateful to be honoured with this award, because it does so much to raise awareness of the desperate cause of the beleaguered and brutalised Asian elephants for whom all at Save The Asian Elephants work so hard.

At a crucial time when we are engaging with our Government, please sign STAE’s petition which you can access at www.stae.org.

The Morello Letters and More Morello Letters

February 6, 2018 By duncanmcnair

Who doesn’t want a free gift?

The Morello Letters Author Duncan McNair SolicitorI love writing and I’ve had a lot of fun writing humour books which happily have made it as big sellers! And it keeps me sane!

The books are The Morello Letters and More Morello Letters – Pen Pal to the Superstars.

Both were named No. 1 best sellers for humour-parody on Amazon and they’ve since both been widely reviewed.

In 2012 The Morello Letters was included by BBC Radio 4 listeners amongst their funniest books ever written in Open Book’s Listeners Funniest Books hosted by Mariella Frostrup.

All receipts go to charities I support (especially animal charities) – and often my clients get free copies, signed by the author!

Here I am talking about the books:

Please catch up because I’ve nearly finished writing the third book!

Attending Parliament As CEO Of Save The Asian Elephants

February 1, 2018 By duncanmcnair

Attending Parliament As CEO Of Save The Asian ElephantsThis evening in my role as CEO of Save The Asian Elephants (“STAE”) www.stae.org I attended Parliament to discuss the worldwide ivory trade and bans upon it following important developments in China.

I spoke with Boris Johnson, Dr Therese Coffey (DEFRA environment minister), Mark Field MP, Christopher Chope MP and the heads of several elephant NGOs.

All were interested in STAE’s plan to press for a new law to prohibit the advertising or supply of unethical Elephant tourism, and we expect considerable support, starting with a big debate in Westminster Hall.

Being a lawyer is of great help in pressing for new legislation. I am proud to do something to help these gentle creatures, so gruesomely abused in the name of tourism and entertainment.
