Dogs are family - Make dog theft a specific criminal offence
This was a personal project made during lockdown to support the need for change of laws on dog theft. A petition with thousands of signatures meant that it had to be discussed in Parliament.
I made a series of simple videos with accompanying stills, put out across social media, to try and show the terrible consequences of having a family member stolen and try and get a few more signatures for the cause..
Dog thefts were occurring all over the country in during lockdown as prices of dogs soared, they had become an easy target for criminals who could sell them with virtually no consequences.
Stolen dogs are very seldom re-united with families causing terrible anxiety and distress.
Often dogs are hurt or killed during the process.
The laws have started to change now thankfully, but there is a long way to go to stop these horrible crimes happening.
