The news arrived this morning that our request has been granted and the policy will change. I never imagined this would actually happen when I started the petition. This success belongs entirely to the thousands of you who stepped up to show why this shift was needed.

I really thought this effort would stay small but seeing so many people join in has been a complete surprise. If each of you could find just one person to show this to today we might reach that thousand mark together. This is all down to your effort and I am just humbled to be part of what you are building.

My spaniel suffered for months after a bad injury in the field. This ban is hurting the very dogs people pretend they are helping.

About time. These people making laws have never owned a working gundog in their lives. Ridiculous.

Fix this now. Vet bills for split tails are no joke and it causes way more pain than a simple procedure.

Common sense at last. Working dogs get tails damaged in heavy brush all the time. It is cruel NOT to dock them.

Never should have been banned. Its standard practice for a reason.

JUSTICE FOR WORKING DOGS. Stop treating them like pampered city pets.
