Changing the world - Day 31

Today's good deed is for a very, very, very special cause. Hands up who likes puppies? (I'm talking about the small, fluffy mini-dogs as opposed to a nice couple of funbags). Everybody loves puppies. But did you know that loads of the puppies that are for sale in pet stores or via the internet come from puppy factories?

These factories are the most inhumane, vile and cruel environments you could ever imagine an animal to be stuck in. They truly are horrific and need to be abolished. That's where Oscar's Law comes in. Oscar is a wee little dog that has spent most of his life inside one of these factories as a stud dog. The conditions he has had to endure are beyond deplorable. Through the determination and courage of certain individuals Oscar has been freed and now it's time to free all the other helpless victims.

Oscar's Law is a movement to abolish puppy factories and there are loads of ways you can help.

Today I logged on to: http://www.oscarslaw.org/ and within minutes I had signed the online petition and sent three e-mails (already written and ready to send on the website) to the most relevant parliamentary members calling for their cooperation in outlawing these heinous puppy factories.

The Oscar's Law website has made it so easy for people to help that my good deed for today basically did itself!

I really urge anyone who reads this to click the above link and join the fight. The dogs and puppies can't save themselves so it's up to us to do something to bring an end to their suffering.

Until tomorrow do-gooders xx

PS- If you are in Melbourne tomorrow there's an Oscar's Law rally - check the website for all the deets!

  1. That is horrific, I had no idea Puppy Factories existed. I have signed the petition and shared it on my Facebook page to try and encourage others to do the same. I am a huge dog fan, and can't stand to think about that awful suffering. Thanks for making me aware. Vic xxx
