BOYCOTT DOGS4US SALFORD COUNCIL PROTEST
 

Star date: 23rd October 2016

SALFORD PRECINCT TO SEE MORE BOYCOTT DOGS4US PROTESTS

Boycott Dogs4Us Protest
Sunday 30th October 1pm-2pm
Salford Precinct

With Salford City Council's consultation on a pet shop clampdown now closed, the Boycott Dogs4Us is keeping the pressure on to bring real change by holding a further protest on the public space between Tesco and Salford Precinct next Sunday, followed by a further protest outside the Dogs4Us store on Agecroft Road.

Full details here...


Salford City Council has just closed its consultation on new improved conditions for animal welfare and pet shops in the city, which was a response, in part, to the massive campaign by Boycott Dogs4Us and the media to expose the company's dodgy practices.

While the campaign gives the Council's proposals a cautious welcome it adds "Whilst we commend the Council's intentions to improve animal welfare for all animals, Boycott Dogs4Us does not feel the proposals are sufficient in terms of preventing the sale of puppy farm dogs in Salford".

Supporters are staging a peaceful protest in the public space between Tesco and Salford Precinct next Sunday, 30th October, between 1pm and 2pm*, followed by a further protest outside the Dogs4Us store on Agecroft Road.

"Dogs4Us has been exposed twice on national television for selling puppies from cruel puppy farms - Channel 5 News and Sky News, 2009 and more recently BBC Panorama, May 2016" the organisation states "We want to attract the attention of Salford Council, raise awareness within Salford about the consultation, about the sale of puppy farm dogs in Salford and Dogs4Us involvement in the cruel puppy farm trade."

Sunday 30th October 1pm-2pm*

RationalThinker, all third-party sellers of puppies including online sellers must have a pet shop licence to legally sell puppies. There needs to be more enforcement in the area of online sales, but the regulation has to be put on pet shop licences.

Less than 5% of UK pups annually are sold via pet shops. Kennel club >25% of UK pups sold. Unregulated & unlicensed internet/back street breeders/imported puppies etc = approx 70% of sales. Personally I think the internet/social media sales of pups and Kennel Club need to be more regulated

SALFORD STAR CLOSES AFTER 15 YEARS WITH ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

Star date: 17th May 2021

SALFORD STAR – 15 YEARS OF ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

The Salford Star closes tonight after 15 years of giving the community a voice, holding power to account and bigging up all the great things that have happened in the city.

Thousands of people in Salford have been involved in one way or another with the Star and we'd like to thank them all. Salford is a very special city and, hopefully, we've given it a very special community publication.

We are almost at the final closure of the Salford Star but we write this article as a warning to others who may follow on the pitfalls of founding a genuine publication that aims to give the community a voice and hold public bodies up to account.

SALFORD STAR CLOSURE – GUY GRIFFITHS ON THE HUMAN COST OF PATHFINDER DEMOLITIONS

Star date: 16th May 2021

THE HUMAN COST OF REGENERATION

The Griffiths brothers of Higher Broughton are kind of infamous as the only people to be forcefully evicted from their house as part of the Pathfinder 'housing market renewal' project during the first decade of the 21st Century.

Here, Guy Griffiths, now living in 'sunny' north Wales and one of the main inspirations for the Salford Star's creation, writes the second part his own personal view of the Government project that devastated communities throughout Central Salford.
