Dogs In Our Communities Conference

Status dogs, dogs as weapons, dog attacks and dog registration are all to be discussed at what looks set to be a provocative conference on dogs in our communities which is being hosted by the RSPCA, in London on Tuesday 03 June.

Speakers include North Wales Police Chief Constable Richard Brunstrom and the Head of the Dog Unit for Merseyside Police, Neil Davies.

RSPCA Strategic Campaigner Miranda Luck says that the conference aims to tackle: "one of the UK's most pressing social issues."

"There is a concern among the public at the moment about dogs, whether it be high-profile attacks on children, organised dog fighting, or young people with tough looking dogs on street corners. The RSPCA wants to bring people together to discuss these issues, and hopefully we'll come up with effective solutions."

As well as a lively discussion, delegates to the conference will be able to take part in instant voting on the issues. The conference is the first organised by the RSPCA as an annual series, aimed at confronting topical issues of the time.

Vets, local government officials, anyone involved with dogs and interested members of the public are invited to attend.
