Last July DDAWatch held a very successful Candle Light Vigil for Bruce. This year we are hosting Not Guilty! A Vigil for all Victims of BSL. The vigil will take place on Saturday 24th July from 4pm to 7pm at Richmond Terrace, City of Westminster, London, SW1A

Everyone is welcome but please note that NO DOGS ARE PERMITTED TO ATTEND THIS EVENT. It is our turn to fight for them so their presence is not required and they would prefer the sofa at home anyway!!!

We are asking everyone who attends to write a personal letter stating why they are opposed to B.S.L. At 5pm two representatives of DDAWatch will be escorted to Downing Street to hand in your letters.

If you cannot attend but would like us to hand in a letter on your behalf please post your letter to:

Endangered Dogs Defence and Rescue Ltd

Post Office Box 1544, London, W7 2ZB

Please ensure all letters are handsigned and ideally an address for any response to be sent directly back to yourself.

A selection of letters may be read out at the Vigil although names/addresses will not be given out. Please state on the reverse of your letter if you do not wish your letter to be read out.

Please bring posters and banners and keep all dialogue with the public polite and friendly. We wish to share our message in a positive and memorable way.

We have a job to do, to educate the public and campaign peacefully to the government and we need to engage rather than enrage.

We hope many of you will be able to attend the vigil and show your support for the repeal of Section One, DDA.

Please bring cameras and soft drinks. Poster and banner ideas will be uploaded to DDAWatch facebook group in the next few days.

We are also hoping to do a live broadcast of the event and would love to hear from anyone wishing to hold a similar event in their area. Please email mail@dangerousdogsact.co.uk for more info

To add a fun element to our peaceful vigil, there will be a mystery PRIZE for the best T-shirt of the day, best banner and after the event, best of photograph from the vigil, get creative folks!!

Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you there!

Please confirm attendance by emailing mail@dangerousdogsact with the number of people in your group or you can confirm via our facebook fan page http://www.facebook.com/pages/DDA-Watch/366883744658?v=app_2344061033#!/event.php?eid=110461509003483&ref=mf

  1. Not being critical of the very,very sad Bruce saga.I would be interested to know what the outcome was.Many areas are bad but Northern Ireland is run by a bunch of Terrorists that are totally braindead.I wrote a number of letters,the responses were unbeleivable stupid Zombieland.

    My view is still rid the UK of Politicos that are BSL inclined.Surely in the UK there some decent human beings that wish to make career in politics.

  2. I heard today that Bruce has been released by the courts this week into the care of EGAR – East Galloway Animal Rescue in Southern Ireland. As he was deemed a true Pit Breed that are illegal in Northern Ireland – he will not allowed to be rehomed with his owner.

    Still this is good news for Bruce that I’m sure will be peacefully snoozing on the sofa of his new foster home very soon!
