I'll save the puppies says Jewish vet standing up to Parliament

In safe hands: Marc Abraham and friend
3 min read

It's not often you are likely to find a Jewish vet standing up in Parliament to fight for a cause many know nothing about or choose to ignore. But Marc Abraham is no typical vet and the cause that he is campaigning for may be one that many would say is unimportant compared to human suffering.

Yet Marc has taken on a huge campaign to raise awareness -and money - in a bid to destroy the UK's cruel trade of puppy farming.

He has campaigned so hard for this issue, helped by a host of dog-loving celebrity friends including Ricky Gervais, Brian May, Patsy Palmer, Sarah Harding, David Gandy and Liam Gallagher that he secured an extraordinary 100,000 signatures, which won him a three-hour debate in the House of Commons.

Marc's charity PupAid is now in its sixth year. The first event took place in Brighton and it has grown to become one of North London's most popular family outings.
