ALFIE’S STORY

In December 2023, the sanctuary where Alfie resided was raided by North Wales Police and the RSPCA. As a result of the raid, Alfie and several other dogs were removed from the premises. Alfie and some of his companions were then needlessly killed.

​

Alfie had been at that sanctuary for many years. He spent 23.5hrs a day in the kennel you see in the picture, with little interaction with people or other dogs. But there was hope. Hope for Alfie and the other dogs. Before the raid another rescue that specialised in rehabilitating reactive dogs, had offered their services to the RSPCA. It was a firm offer of a suitable kennel for any dog taken during the raid. Alfie and the other dogs did not need to die.

​

The RSPCA has a policy in place that prevents them from rehoming reactive animals. Due to this policy, once they have seized an animal that is reactive, they are quick to destroy them. There are many ‘safe sanctuaries’ out there, that have the will and expertise to take in these animals and give them the time and space they need to be rehabilitated and rehomed.

​

The RSPCA is a charity. They are Britain’s 999 for animals and the animals of Britain need them. An animal rescue charity should not be responsible for regulating and prosecuting other animal rescues. It’s the equivalent of expecting paramedics to regulate and prosecute hospitals.

No one regulates the RSPCA.

​

IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE UK GOVERNMENT TO ENSURE THAT ALL SANCTUARIES & RESCUES ARE PROPERLY REGULATED.

​

OUR STORY

We were former volunteers at the animal sanctuary where Alfie and other dogs lived. During our time with the organisation we discovered that the dogs had been subject to the most horrifying cruelty and neglect. Including denial of basic vet care. This experience has left us all deeply disturbed and determined to fight against such atrocities.

 

We hope that you will join us in our fight.

​

In the UK, there are currently no specific regulations governing animal sanctuaries or rescues. This lack of oversight allows for widespread abuse and neglect to occur unchecked. In recent years there have been numerous cases of cruelty, neglect, abuse and fraud in animal sanctuaries, rescues and boarding kennels. 

​

We need the UK government to establish a Regulatory Body and implement strict regulations for these institutions. These should include mandatory regular inspections, stringent care standards, and severe penalties for those found guilty of cruelty or neglect.
