I have become vegan in the last 6 weeks because of the horrifying videos that I have seen about the dog and cat meat trade in Korea. The videos are horrific and have to be watched to believe that these things go on. I like many people and many family’s have a pet dog, he is part of our family and we all love and cherish him. I could not imagine him being stolen and dying in such a lonely, scary, painful and horrific way. No living creature deserves this. I am too far away to be able to be hands on and help, but I think the world of the activists I have seen doing everything they can to save these dogs from torture. Even if I raise £50 to help, it will do something and help in someway. And even if I get 1 person to sign the petition, that’s a start. Please please please donate, even £1. James and I are doing this race for those dogs that deserve the freedom to run, and live.

Tough mudder is a 12 mile army style muddy assault course, crawling through tunnels, climbing over walls, ice cold water and electric shocks. It’s a tough event, but it will be absolutely no where near as painful as the suffering of these dogs stolen or bred for the dinner table. And believing that the more suffering the animal experiences, the more tender the meat will be. This is something extremely close to my heart, so please sponsor me and James anything you can, and sign the petitions to stop this horrific trade.
