I was contacted recently by a group of bright young things with a passion for all things animal. Their latest campaign is to try to encourage responsible pet ownership by making it compulsory to have dogs microchipped. This way so many more will find their way back home if they are lost or stolen. I’m actually not going to say much more about it because two of the children have done that for me. The link to the petition and the information below will be here for a few weeks so please if you have a couple of minutes follow the link and let’s try and get the children to Downing Street. It’s brilliant to see the next generation taking so much interest in the future of our pets and their wellbeing. Good luck everyone! Over to you…
“We are the S.O.F.A. Club – an animal action club based at Thorpe House School, in Norwich. S.O.F.A. stands for Speak Out For Animals and that is what we do. There are almost 100 of us now and our ages range from 8 to 15.
We involve ourselves in many fund raising ideas including the making of S.O.F.A. t –shirts, hoodies and calendars. Organising sponsored walks and making tea towels. All the money we raise we give to local animal charities.
At the moment we are trying to get a law passed to make the microchipping of dogs compulsory. This is because we are very worried and upset by the number of stray dogs rising to just over 105,000, in 2007, with just under 8,000 of them sadly being put to sleep. If these dogs had been microchipped, most of them would have been returned to their owners.
To help us with our campaign we have started an online petition which we hope to take to Parliament, later this year. If we get enough signatures, 20,000, we hope to present them to the Prime Minister. If you agree with what we are doing, please sign the petition at:

Many thanks.
