These peaceful protests have been organised through the facebook social networking site (not by us) where you can find a group/page for each venue, with further information and details. Leave dogs at home unless otherwise stated.
Being held on Saturday 14th July 2012 at 11am.
Six peaceful protests will be taking place around the UK.
These protests will be calling on the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to repeal Section 1 of the Dangerous Dogs Act.
Section 1 is Breed Specific Legislation which has been shown as ineffectual with regards to protecting the public and other animals from so-called ‘dangerous’ dog breeds.
We believe that innocent family pets should not be seized simply because of how they look. A large number of dogs who have never shown any aggression, or posed any threat, have been killed or held in secure kennels for months, sometimes years, just because they fit the ‘type’ profile.
Any dog, regardless of breed, can be dangerous when in the wrong hands; it is those wrong hands that the law should focus on. If you believe that it should be the deed, not the breed, join our fight for their right to life by attending one of these peaceful protests:
