STOP KILLING DOGS!!

Little Scruffs Pet Boutique asks for your support for a very important cause. "Stop Killing Dogs" is an online petition to stop the brutal dog torture and the dog meat industry in South Korea.
Every year over 2,000,000 dogs get brutally killed in South Korea for their meat. That is over 5,000 dogs per day - burned, electrocuted, beaten or hanged to death.
United Dogs have opened the campaign web page at
www.uniteddogs.com/stopkillingdogs where you can sign the petition and share the link with your friends.
The petition will be presented to South Korean officials by Korea Animal Rights Advocates (KARA) group when we get at least 1 million signatures or more.
You can read about the legal and historical background of the South Korean dog meat industry at the aforementioned webpage and follow the provided links for more information.



We ask for your help in spreading the word to as many people as possible. We are looking for volunteers who are willing to distribute the "Stop Killing Dogs" campaign flyers. You can give them out everywhere you go - that means the vet´s office, parks, cafés or dog exhibitions. If you want to get behind this campaign then please contact rami.lill@uniteddogs.com and we will send you the flyers from our Tallinn office.

Visit http://www.uniteddogs.com/stopkillingdogs now and sign the petition, because international pressure on the South Korean government is the only way to change the life of millions of dogs for the better.

Thank you for your help,

Rachael, Bo & Giz

Police Dogs Die in Hot Car

You may have heard that on Tuesday, two police dogs died after being left in a car by their handler in Nottinghamshire.
The temperatures in the UK at the moment are regularly pushing 30 degrees Celsius, and with the NHS issuing advice to everyone to keep cool, we really should be applying the same advice to our pets!
Everyone knows how uncomfortable it is entering your car when it has been sat in the sun all day, almost unbearable sometimes. If pets are left in these conditions with no ventilation or water, they will suffer greatly and it may be fatal.
A spokesperson the The Dogs Trust charity commented that they were greatly saddened by this incident and reminded dog owners that it can take just 20 minutes for these conditions to prove fatal to a dog when locked away in a car. During a heatwave like the one we are experiencing now, temperatures within cars can reach in excess of 40 degrees C.
Please be extra careful when transporting your pets in these conditions, make sure you can keep them cool and always make sure they stay hydrated.

Enjoy the lovely weather!!
Best Wishes
