This man might have been homeless he might have problems with alcohol & a court order not to own dogs, but that does not justify the Metropolitan police hunting him down with a taser & killing his two precious companions with a shot gun in a residential housing area. There is no…

I’m sorry to say I have no confidence in what the

Well done

Nobody tells you how quickly dogs age
How one day you wake up and suddenly
their face is all white. Or how their eyes
start to seem more milky than before, or
how you have to call their name a few
more times than you used to.
Everyone says not to blink if you have
children or…
So a Tory Government who claimed that Brexit would improve animal welfare has now allowed cosmetic companies to return to animal testing on beagles such as these to comply with EU law. It’s the final betrayal & disgrace from a bunch of incompetent liars
This 12 year old German Shepherd carried for miles to Polish border, he cannot walk long distances but owners would not leave behind. Should this family enter U.K. he won’t be let in & could be euthanised. Need Emergency pet passport refugees now
