Help Protect our Pets! Calling all pet owners and your pets; join the World’s first ever live DogZoom event, hosted by Emma Kennedy
About this event
Let’s fill zoom screens with our pets to create the world’s first ever DogZoom rally!
Our pets need us more than ever, as pet theft continues to soar we are hosting an online rally, on Dog Theft Awareness Day which will kickstart National Pet Theft Awareness Week.
Join us to hear real life experiences from victims of pet theft, advice from experts on how to protect your pets, ways you can get involved and help make a change and there’s messages from surprise, pet-loving celebrities and politicians too.
In conjunction with the Stolen and Missing Pet Alliance and DogLost, we are calling for Pet Theft Reform. The current law is inadequate and there is currently no separate category for pet theft in the 1968 Theft Act.
Pets are seen as property or a possession that can be easily be replaced. We disagree with this; our pets are irreplaceable and valued members of our families. They are loved, cherished, unique sentient beings.
Pet theft is currently treated the same way as having your mobile phone or laptop stolen. It can be difficult for owners to obtain a crime reference number and the theft is seldom investigated.
If caught, pet thieves are normally given a small fine and - at best - a suspended sentence. There is currently no deterrent.
So if you care about protecting your pets and you’re concerned about the increase in pet theft, join us for the World’s first ever DogZoom event and sign up below.
All your pets are welcome
