Please retweet, British councils will say they don't have the resources to assess all stray dogs or potential new homes. A council can kill a healthy dog after just 7 days if local shelters are full. Shelters across the UK are full, most with waiting lists of people wanting to give up dogs‼️‼️ Councils are still issuing new licenses to breed.
Please tag your MP in these posts, email them or ask to meet them about overbreeding in your area?
Sadly no figures exist re how many dogs councils are killing as vets are not required to report how many healthy dogs they kill for councils or owners.

@domdyer70 Absolutely disgusting, how any person with a heart can actually pay to watch this cruelty, it would be worse than being put in prison watching this, that poor animal, those "people" need shooting
Nature groups have pleaded with swimmers to give wildlife a wide berth after dozens of people swam in a nature pond on Hampstead Heath among nests of baby birds.
Swans and their 12-day-old cygnets were disturbed by hordes of splashing revellers in the north London park on Monday as London reached record 35C temperatures. In one video, a swan was seen poking an unhatched egg with its beak after it fell into the water during the chaos.
Conservationists responded with dismay after a video was shared on social media of the scenes, which the City of London called “utterly appalling”.
Coots, moorhens and swans were seen guarding their eggs and young as people obliviously splashed around them. There are large signs around the pond urging people not to swim as it is a wildlife conservation area.
The unseasonably hot weather has meant that people have been going into water sources en masse to cool off. This has coincided with the nesting season for water birds. London’s outdoor swimming ponds and lidos were busy and booked up during the heatwave, meaning some people went to swim in unauthorised areas.
The RSPB said it was “a crucial time of year for breeding birds which just want to nest and care for their young in peace”.
The bird charity urged people to swim in authorised, lifeguarded spaces rather than nature reserves. “Along with the dangers of swimming in unauthorised places, there is a significant risk of disturbing wildlife.
Many species are already under huge pressure and disturbance can make a parent abandon their nest, putting eggs and chicks at risk. Everyone has a part to play in protecting nature so we’d urge people to be responsible and give birds and other wildlife plenty of space when outdoors this summer,” it said.
Un-fucking-believable 🤬🤬 The selfish, entitled bastards. Where is the action for this?? Why isn't more being done?? Arrest the fuckers! Make them actually pay for their selfish, destructive behaviour.
