Yes, I voted and forwarded the webpage to all animal loving people I know ; I bet the turnout will be higher than the average local elections 😂

SirChenjins · 03/06/2026 21:38

Yes I did on the back of another thread about it

Ipsevenenabibas · 03/06/2026 21:40

@SpikesGirl how lovely, ❤️I had no idea about this and have voted, and sent to friends and family thank you so much for posting, will be interesting to see what gets printed.

AllJoyAndNoFun · 03/06/2026 21:57

Puffin has to win. Otherwise we are doomed

LlynTegid · 03/06/2026 22:00

I voted this morning. Can't recall all those I chose, sure the hare, kingfisher and hedgehog were three of them.

I approve of this instead of the argument as to who is best person to choose.

Exactly what I chose, only difference is I opted for the barn owl over the woodpecker.

SpikesGirl · 03/06/2026 22:04

I voted

Hare
Fox
Barn owl
bird with long beak
Dragonfly
Bumble 🐝.
I will be happy with whatever wins
