Maybe the last chance to change this stupid law in scotland :-
Dear All,
After learning of a recent report published about risk factors and tail injuries
I decided to contact my local MSP Mike Rumbles who took the subject up with
Richard Lochead the Cabinet Minister for Rural Affairs.
I received a letter back today, it would appear that Mr Lochead will be
reviewing all comments about the report and deciding whether or not they
need to review the current policy of tail docking in Scotland and whether the
current stance is justified.
The deadline for comments is the 3rd of September, the shooting and welfare
organisations have also been sent the reports and asked to comment, and general
comments are welcomed, along with supporting evidence of tail injury. Happy to
forward a copy of the letter to those interested .
Now is the time to fight again for an exemption for our working dogs
The reports can be viewed at :-

animal.health@scotland.gsi.gov.ukPlease forward this on as you see appropriate, the more interest and comments we
can generate before the 3rd of Sept the more chance we have of perhaps making a
difference and changing this destructive law.
