Help halt puppy smuggling

-

Dogs Trust is calling on the public to help put an end to illegal puppy smuggling after an undercover investigat­ion revealed shocking and continued abuse of the Pet Travel Scheme.

Puppies as young as four weeks old are still being subjected to horrifying journeys across Central and Eastern Europe and smuggled into Great Britain to be sold to unsuspecti­ng members of the public, many sick and without the right vaccinatio­ns.

Urgent action is needed to help transform the lives of these poor puppies.

Dogs Trust is asking people to show their support by writing to their own MP to ask them to support our campaign by writing to the Minister for Animal Welfare.

They can visit www.puppysmugg­ling.org.uk to find out how to help.

The campaign is backed by television and radio personalit­y, Dermot O’ Leary.
