One thing that it is certainly not about is helping dogs.
So the next time you feel like you might want to donate some money to charity remember - some charities, or at lest one charity, who promises to use your money to
help dogs actually uses it to persecute, prosecute and punish them by actively assisting the implementation of an Act it claims to oppose.

this report is about tackling gangs who used dogs as weapons and status dogs.
ok, these dogs will be aggressive and wont be able to be rehomed because of the idiots who have made them this way, but by tackling the problem at scource, it is a step forward in reducing what is becoming a worrying and dangerous problem.
your suggesting that the two large dog charities are just about killing dogs, well reading this report they are involved to help stop this problem esculating.
yes, initially dogs will be destroyed, and thats sad, but it has to do this.
have you got some sort of hate campaign against these two charities?
what if all the other large charities got involved to solve this horrendous problem? would you still feel so strongly about this report?
