What’s next…
Review the euthanasia of animals in the UK and impose reporting requirements The Tuks Law campaign team continue to lobby and petition the government to ensure that the Rescue Back up registration remains on the microchip for life, and that alternatives to euthanasia are sought prior euthanasia including contacting local rescue organisations and using the Kennel Clubs breed specific rescue database. Looking forward we continue to monitor the change in the RCVS Code of Conduct and have plans which will see us lobbying the government further on this area of animal welfare and also seek a review of the reporting of euthanasia. Tuks Law are already aware that difficult decisions are being made across the U.K. on the euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals and feel that a centralised reporting system needs to be urgently implemented to understand how to support rescue organisations and veterinarians to ensure that preventable euthanasia is stopped.
