This week Anna is joined by Beverley Cuddy who amongst other dog-centric roles, is one of the Patrons of SAMPA - the Stolen and Missing Pets Alliance. They chat about the great news that government are introducing new legislation - the Pet Abduction Law to make penalties for dog theft in line with the crime.
With specific legislation that recognises that dogs are clearly not ‘property’ or chattel with consequences of up to seven years in prison for ‘abducting’ a dog. The hope is that dog theft will decrease.
Since Andrew Rosindell's landmark Ten Minute Rule Bill dubbed Jasmine's Law last October, Government has amended its model tenancy agreement so that consent for pets in rented accommodation will be the default position. However for this to become law, pet owners across Britain need to up the ante! By writing to their MP's, signing a petition to 'Ban Blanket No Pet Clauses' so voices are heard in parliament. And attend a Zoom event hosted by Andrew Rosindell MP discussing the legislation he's proposing.
For the first time the Radio Times has a dedicated TV guide for pets over Christmas. The shows are specially chosen for their pet friendliness in lighting levels and audio levels. So you won't fight for the remote, even the Strictly Christmas Special is on the list! And for a host of independent films celebrating dogs the Top Dog Film Festival is virtual to enjoy on 27th Dec and 15th January.
