Love of Animals

I have always been a dog lover, and I hate any kind of cruelty to animals.

When I was a politician, I started following a campaign for change to legislation in Westminster around puppy farming and decided to support it with a private members’ bill in Northern Ireland. Doing that gave me insight into the work of the USPCA and contacts across the world of animal welfare.

It has become a passion of mine, and I have been fortunate to build a good network of like-minded people who want to champion animal welfare.

I want to give a voice to the animal welfare charities, their supporters, the veterinary community and ethical animal breeders. By bringing these people together I hope to spread awareness and also help raise valuable funds to continue the work of stamping out cruelty to animals throughout the United Kingdom.
