Because mutts can love too



Protest Crufts

Birmingham NEC
Sunday 8th March - 10am till finish.

Its time to show the Kennel Club, at their most prestigious event of the year what the public actually think.

Since the broadcasting of 'Pedigree Dogs Exposed' the BBC, RSPCA and Pedigree chum have all pulled out of Crufts and now it's time for the public to put another nail in the coffin.

Join us at the Birmingham NEC to pass on two very important messages to the public.

1. Breeding unhealthy dog's for aesthetic purposes is morally wrong.

2. breeding dogs is pointless when there are existing dogs all over the world needing homes.


Bring campaign materials - suggested items are

*Dog costumes
*Cuddly dog toys
*Banners/Placards with slogans such as:
- Rescue, don't breed
- Mutts can love too
- Stop breeding dogs to death
- Crufts: eugenics for dogs
