Sash-Tag

Sash-Tag This is a bright orange, diamond shaped dog tag. It is to let everyone know, especially dog thieves Hi to everyone, especially all you dog lovers.

My page is about a product I have created called
Sash-Tag. Sash-Tag is a bright orange, diamond shaped dog tag, with the wording I AM NEUTERED on it. It also has the Sash-Tag logo on the other side. It comes together with a car window sticker and 2 window stickers for the front and back of your house, these are to deter the opportunist thief. Dog theft is becoming an increasing problem, yet many

people are still unaware of just how bad the problem is. The main 2 reasons for dog theft is ransom and breeding. As you can imagine it can be very profitable for thieves. If they steal your precious best friend (especially if you own a female), and decide to breed from her, they could make thousands of pounds, and your poor pooch lives the rest of her life in misery. Equally if you own a male dog that has not been neutered, they can make a huge amount of money. Its not just pure bred dogs either, crossbreeds are becoming increasingly popular. Give them a fancy name and people will pay hundreds for them. Even if your dog is neutered, how does a thief know? The answer is, they don't!! That's where the Sash-Tag comes in. Through heavy advertising and word of mouth, these tags will let them know if your dog is wearing a bright orange, diamond shaped tag, its neutered and of no value to them. These tags will ONLY be available to buy from your veterinary surgery AFTER the dog has been neutered, so there is no chance of someone putting one on their dog and "pretending" it is neutered. I hope you all like the idea, and like me would rather prevent your dog being stolen for breeding purposes, than go through the heartache of having them stolen. My hope is that Sash-Tag will encourage people to neuter their dogs and that it will deter thieves from stealing our beloved pets.

Finally we have 'The Pet Abduction Act 2024'.
All the hard work finally paid off. Following a long +10 year campaign to get the theft of our family pets to be made a specific criminal offence, and an important additional fight to get cats included following their exclusion from the Pet Abduction Offence within the dropped Kept Animals Bill, finally the 'Pet Abduction Act 2024 has made it onto the statute books!

What is the Pet Abduction Act 2024?
Following the significant increase in pet theft during the pandemic, the government appointed a Pet Theft Taskforce to investigate. Their recommendation included the creation of a Pet Abduction Offence in recognition that pets are not inanimate objects as they were previously classified under the Theft Act 1968, but sentient, loved family members who have the capacity to suffer when stolen. The word 'abduction' was more appropriate since it places the emphasis firmly on the welfare of the pet, whilst recognising the impact on the owner.

The Act comprises two separate offences: Dog Abduction and Cat Abduction.
It will be a criminal offence to "take" and "detain" a dog however, only the 'taking' of a cat will fall within the scope of the Act. This is to reflect the different lifestyle and freedoms that our family cats enjoy, leaving them to continue to roam and 'drop in' to neighbours gardens and houses without triggering the offence.

Neither of these offences will apply if the cat or dog has lived with the accused at anytime.

The offence allows the provision of 'reasonable excuse'. This might include someone who can show that they had 'lawful authority' or being concerned that a cat or dog has become displaced from its home or is looking in need of veterinary treatment or care. (It is worth noting that in such instances there should be a reasonable expectation of evidence that veterinary care had been sought and the dog or cat had been scanned for a microchip. Scanning is provided free of charge at any veterinary surgery. If any pet is injured please call RSPCA National Call Centre 0300 1234 999 and a log number will be issued, providing £60 of charity funded veterinary treatment).

We are pleased that this new offence will enable the courts to send those convicted of pet abduction to prison for up to 5 years and/or to issue a fine. This new legislation will help provide a significant deterrent to dog and cat thieves and will oblige police forces across England and Northern Ireland to record pet theft data with a new identifying code, ensuring that we can at least start collecting meaningful data and build a more accurate picture as to the scale and nature of cat and dog theft.

This new legislation does not extend to Scotland and Wales so we will be lobbying the Scottish parliament and the Welsh Assembly to introduce a similar Pet Abduction law - to include family cats too.

Pet Theft Awareness is delighted with this new legislation and we would like to thank our campaign partners, Cats Protection, and everyone in parliament across all the political parties who made this a much needed reality!
