Grab your pup, snuggle up and join us for some dog-centric discussions. Wunderdog Magazine launched the Dog Manifesto, which combines for the first time various campaigns to protect all dogs and regulate the humans. Central to the manifesto is an education-based dog licence. But we're not just about politics – we're also creating a community of passionate dog lovers who want to make a difference.

Join our founder, Nina May, as she chats with campaigners, politicians and dedicated dog rescuers. Together, we'll evolve the Dog Manifesto and explore how we can turn this vision into reality.

Alison Standbridge: Founder of Paws2Rescue

Tuesday, June 4, 2024 • Duration 54:08

Alison Standbridge is a leading voice for animal welfare in Romania, and she focuses on the issues the dog rescue movement sometimes seems to neglect. Her charity, Paws2Rescue, recently ran the first stage of a nationwide brucellosis research project, testing 100 dogs for this zoonotic disease, and will be running the second stage later in the year. As brucellosis cases have been rising in the UK too, we must know where the disease is and whether there are local hotspots both in the UK and in Romania, where tens of thousands of our rescue dogs come from every year. Listen to find out about health screening in general and what Alison has learnt about testing quality.

Paw2Rescue also runs a vet scholarship programme, and the charity runs spay-and-neuter campaigns throughout the year. And to ensure the local community is not ignored, Paws2Rescue volunteers run their 'shoebox campaign' every Christmas, donating presents to low-income families throughout Romania.

Alison is outspoken about the work of other organisations and critical of what she calls pop-up adoption charities that seem to be hardly more than a money-making scheme. Adoption, she makes clear, isn't solving the problem of Romanian street dogs. "But trying to make [adoption] their solution is like using a teaspoon to empty the ocean. These pop-up people always say 'we [charities] need to educate'. Show me, because they might do one year to campaign a year and shout really loudly about it. They'll do the one-off token one just to tick the box, but they're not focusing on helping the stray dog population in the country of source."

I know you will enjoy this episode with Alison, which also touches on the Kept Animals Bill and Alison's work with Defra.

Season 1 · Episode 4

Friday, May 17, 2024 • Duration 50:21

This episode of The Dog Manifesto comes to you from the RSPCA headquarters in Horsham, with guest RSPCA Director of Policy, Prevention and Campaigning Emma Slawinski.

A lifelong animal lover who has dedicated her career to charitable causes for humans and animals, we talk about the RSPCA's 200th anniversary and the state of animal welfare, before getting into The Dog Manifesto.

Emma explains what the generic term 'lobbying government' really involves, and she also expands on why tougher regulation is needed to curb inbreeding of dogs, while dismantling breed-specific regulation.

As a strong supporter of The Dog Manifesto, Emma has encouraging advice for those planning to campaign for animal rights. She also came up with a great alternative slogan for The Dog Manifesto: "It's about the dog.
