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.

Deer on a farm "dropped like flies" through disease and malnutrition, a court was told. Around 400 died in seven months at Tremoorland Farm, Cardinham, Cornwall.

The manager of the 220-acre farm, Robert Jasper, 40, pleaded guilty at Bodmin magistrates to causing unnecessary suffering. He earlier admitted falsifying records, and was fined a total of pounds 500. The prosecution was brought after a police and RSPCA investigation.

The farm was run by Galtee Deer Care of Cork, southern Ireland.
