To the great delight of animal-lovers, the law is being changed. The government is set to ban the selling of puppies and kittens by third parties, which puts an end to the appalling practice of puppy farming.
Known as Lucy’s Law, the new legislation is named in honour of the late Lucy the Rescue Cavalier, who had become a hardworking figurehead for the Pup Aid campaign.
Marc Abraham, aka Marc the Vet, has been the driving force behind the Pup Aid campaign, the general at the head of a whole army of supporters who turned out in their legions today to celebrate the news. And what a celebration it was! Click on the gallery to see what went on in Primrose Hill today…
