BE THEIR VOICE .........................

Be the voice of the voiceless.
Hundreds of dogs are abandoned each week in Ireland .
Pounds- rescue`s- are crammed full each week .
And Hundreds of dogs die every week in Ireland's dog pounds.
Ireland cannot cope with these animals , over population is at its highest
A recent EU decision means that Irish rescue dogs travelling to the UK now need to have pet passports and rabies vaccination, which is adding extra burden and costs to the welfare groups who are working well above their means to save lives .
The result of this legislation means they will be forced to rescue fewer dogs and have to choose which dog lives or dies.
. And those fortunate enough to be rescued will have to have rabies vaccinations 21 days before they can travel. This will add a time delay between rescue and rehoming and ultimately mean that more dogs will die in Irish pounds because there was not enough room for them in rescue`s .
More dogs are been dumped daily and the rescues are there to pick the pieces up .
But now they are forced to choose what dog to save and which dog to leave to die. If their own country can not re home these rescue dogs , why should they die , please reconsider this ruling and help rescues save these dogs from a certain death .
We the undersigned implore you to reconsider this law . The voiceless deserve a chance of a happy life .
