@MPIainDS TY for your amazing help. Thanks to you the Pet Theft Taskforce was created by the Government back in 2021. Their report led to the original Pet Abduction Bill. Keeping everything crossed that Royal Assent is achieved in the time left for this Parliamentary session 🐾❤️🐾
This is good news
Watch the #PetAbduction Bill, 3rd Reading live with @Anna_Firth on this link: parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/34…
The current trends for designer features in dogs and cats result in lifelong suffering to these animals. 📢We want the Govt to work with the sector to introduce a public information campaign to raise awareness around welfare issues & harms of so called ‘designer’ pets. 7/8
It’s estimated that less than half of the puppies entering the market are from licensed breeders. 📢We're calling for a reduction in the litter licensing threshold, and a public list of all licenced sellers to help to counter low welfare breeding practices. 5/8
🐕We also want the Govt to ensure: ▪️ A ban on the importation of puppies and kittens under six months ▪️ A limit on the number of dogs and cats that can be imported by an individual into the UK from five per person to five per vehicle, and three per foot or air passenger 6/8
The import & sale of declawed cats & dogs with cropped ears or docked tails is currently not prohibited. We want the Govt to: ▪️close the loophole that enables the importation of mutilated animals ▪️legislate to restrict the possession, sale & supply of DIY ear cropping kits 4/8
We want the Govt to introduce a new Veterinary Surgeons Act to update that of 1966. This should include the regulation of canine fertility clinics. 💷We also want the fine for illegally performing acts of veterinary surgery to be increased from its current maximum of £100. 3/8
Shocking
For 9 months, Gabby didn't walk her dog, Rogue. A Romanian rescue puppy, Rogue faced trauma and anxiety from a combination of lockdown, adolescents and 2 dog attacks. Today, Rogue is growing in confidence, a testament to Gabby's love, efforts and 9 months of #dontwalkyourdogday
SURVEY: The brilliant @RoyalVetCollege are looking at impacts of canine vision loss on dog/owner quality of life & looking for owners of dogs with vision loss (any causation), plus healthy dogs without vision loss, to participate. More info: redcap.link/visionsurvey #VisionSurvey
A clear breach of the Animal Welfare Act 2006. The animal is suffering. The suffering is as a result of an act and/or a failure to act. The animal is a protected animal. The suffering is unnecessary The Kennel Club ..AGAIN For God’s sake, shut this ancient shit show down 🤬
This French Bulldog - with no discernible nostrils and an almost concave face - won not just Best of Breed at Crufts today but also the Utility Group. A terrible day for the breed. Am gutted.
