⚖️ 10-year ban for Kilmarnock puppy dealer

Julie Taylor admitted to illegally selling puppies and failing to meet their basic welfare needs.

Taylor sold puppies without a necessary pet-selling licence and failed to take reasonable steps to ensure the welfare of 16 puppies of varying breeds.

The animals were kept in p**t conditions, separated from their mothers too early, and were not provided appropriate veterinary care or vaccinations.

As a result, Taylor received a:
- 10-year ban on keeping animals
- 200-hour community payback order
- Five-month restriction of the liberty order
- Order to carry out 240 hours of unpaid work

This was no accident.
This was the result of silence. Of looking the other way. Of a system that allows anyone to call themselves a rescue — and no one to stop them.

𝗘𝗡𝗢𝗨𝗚𝗛.

This is our line in the sand.

Across the UK, unregulated pop-up rescues are multiplying. No licences. No inspections. No protection. Animals are suffering behind closed doors while cruelty hides in plain sight.

But today — 𝘄𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸.

Not with violence.
Not with hate.
But with courage.
With unity.
With unstoppable, undeniable truth.

For the 20 still learning to trust again.
For every soul locked in a cage tonight, waiting for someone to care.

We have always agreed that all rescues should be regulated, as unfortunately not all are legitimate. Which is why we shared this petition previously https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/718660

We have been following the ongoing discussions regarding a “rescue” in Essex. We are truly sick and shocked that yet again many dogs (37) have lost their life’s.

We at Justice for Reggie want to say a huge thank you to all who reported the place in question and also to all involved in the raid. Essex Police who working alongside colleagues from the RSPCA (England & Wales) and Basildon Borough Council who responded to a number of reports in relation to an address in have uncovered the remains of 37 dogs and seized a number of others to ensure they are safe.

Two men have been arrested on suspicion of fraud and failing to prevent unnecessary suffering to animals. They remain in custody.

At this stage, we would urge the public to please refrain from speculation whilst enquiries progress.

✍️Please sign and share this petition it takes less than 1 minute.

We have some amazing rescues in the UK, these rescues are challenged daily picking up the pieces of abandoned dogs/puppies and cats.
The care they give can cost £1000s.
We have also come across rescues popping up stating they are rescues when they are NOT, stealing photos and using these to ask for donations, using social media and online selling platforms.
Then we have rescues taking in high quantity of puppies from puppy farmers with no questions asked, this just promotes more misery for the breeding dogs.
It's now time to regulate rescues to rid the UK of these back street "rescues".

Many UK animal rescues operate without clear legal oversight, creating opportunities for unethical practices. Some rescues have been linked to supporting irresponsible breeding, neglecting animals, or misusing public donations.

Let's get Justice for poor Peggy. Anyone with any information please contact the helpline on the number below

‼️ RSPCA Appeal ‼️ | Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester: five-month-old Labrador puppy with multiple fractures dies after being ‘deliberately thrown’ into a marina.

The puppy, who was nicknamed Peggy by RSPCA staff, was thrown into Portland Basin Marina in Ashton-under-Lyne last Wednesday 12 March, and was pulled from the water by a passer-by at around 3.20pm.

She was found near the steel footbridge with no sign of anyone nearby.

The puppy was lethargic and extremely cold. Her jaw appeared to have been prised open, leaving her tongue hanging out and the poor puppy suffering.

She had suffered such severe breaks to her jaw that she would have been unable to eat or drink and was humanely put to sleep.

Peggy was not microchipped and it’s not known if her injuries happened as a result of the fall, or if they occurred beforehand.

RSPCA Animal Rescue Officer Kate Sargent, who is investigating, said: “Everyone who has been involved in this terrible incident has been left feeling shocked and saddened by what happened to Peggy.

“It’s hard to understand how anyone could do something like this to such a young dog. We’d like to extend our sincere thanks to the kind people who got her out of the water and sought help, and to the veterinary teams who saw her.

“We’d appeal to anyone who recognises Peggy or who was at the marina at the time to get in touch so we can progress this investigation further. We are also asking nearby businesses and homes in the surrounding area to check their CCTV and video doorbells.”

Anyone with first-hand information is urged to contact the RSPCA’s appeals line, in confidence, on 0300 123 8018 quoting reference number 01467665.

The below dead dog was noticed at the side of the road on New Hey Road above Outlane. Clearly she hadn't been there long and appears to have had a horrific life, appearing very emaciated and with fresh injuries to suggest she will more than likely have been a fighting dog. She likely lost the fight and was dumped at the side of the road like a piece of rubbish.

No surprise that there was no information at all on her chip.

If anyone has any information as to who may have been behind this, please get in contact on 101 and quote log 1126 of 21/02/25
