You deserve a medal working in animal welfare in NI, just why are there so many dogs in NI? Hi Neil

Amazing figures, if over 4,000 dogs PTS were from Northern Ireland then 2,710 dogs for the whole of the other constituent countries of the UK is not high although it is still 2,710 too many considering the population of the other three home countries.

You deserve a medal working in animal welfare in NI, just why are there so many dogs in NI?

How many Irish stray dogs were the Dogs Trust and partners importing to the UK, for rehoming here, in the same year?

Is a dog destroyed EVERY 80 minutes of any 24 hour period, 365 days of the year? As sad as it is, what is the actual percentage out of 'nearly' 100,000 dogs? Surely the number of strays is falling as well as the number of dogs PTS. Are councils getting the blame again, organisations such as DT could possibly help councils more but they do not. Rather than blame councils, why not use the DT's own political lobbying group to get better resources for councils would be a step in the right direction?
