We at Reading Cats Protection were copied on this email recently. If you can, please take a moment to support this Animal Welfare Bill . . . it should make a difference to all animals at threat of abuse in the UK.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The RSPCA is delighted to announce that last Friday, 14 October, the government published the new Animal Welfare Bill! The bill should become the most significant piece of legislation to protect pet animals for almost one hundred years.
The new welfare offence would, for the first time, protect thousands of animals from enduring serious ongoing neglect each year, by legally obliging owners to care for their animals properly, something the RSPCA has been campaigning on for many years.
The Animal Welfare Bill will now begin its passage through parliament, where MPs and Lords will debate its content before passing it into law.
We still need your help to ensure the bill is enacted into law. Please take action by:
writing a letter or e-mail to your MP to ask him/her to support the Animal Welfare Bill
telling your friends and family about the Animal Welfare Bill and asking them to contact their MP. To find the name and contact details of your MP, and to get helpful letter writing tips, go to: www.rspca.org.uk/actnow (http://www.rspca.org.uk/actnow)
Thank you again for your support.
Best wishes,
RSPCA Online
