Following the outcome of the court case concerning Max, the USPCA welcome the fact that the judge has not ruled in favour of euthanasia. We are hopeful that exemption requirements can be agreed and that Max will be able to be rehomed.
We remain committed towards ensuring Max receives the best possible care and support. His welfare has been central to this court case and this remains our top priority.
The USPCA is a key partner in the prevention of animal cruelty in Northern Ireland and at all times endeavours to be a champion and advocate for animal welfare. We stand firm in our opposition to Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) which we believe punishes certain types of dogs for the way they look and impacts on the welfare of many dogs whose behaviour poses no risk to human safety. We remain dedicated to protecting vulnerable animals and promoting a strong voice for all animals.
