Luna is an elderly Golden Retriever being abused and passed around by Romanian beggars who work for “THE BIG ISSUE” around Bond Street Station. Luna is made to sit 10+ hours by them EVERY single day, she is beaten with a walking stick if she tries to move. These Romanian vendors are a gang who fake being homeless and pretend to be handicapped to get more donations. 

It is heartbreaking how sad and depressed this dog is, with no food or water available and unable to move. She is also used for breeding - they profit off her puppies. You can tell she was recently pregnant.

We are calling on The Big Issue to urgently investigate Luna’s treatment, arrange an independent animal welfare assessment and take immediate steps to protect her from further harm.

We also demand that The Big Issue introduce mandatory animal welfare standards for all vendors who bring dogs to work, including access to water, shelter, comfortable bedding and protection from physical abuse.

Luna has no voice, she can’t just walk away, but she has us. Please don’t scroll past her. Help us make sure she gets the safe, comfortable and loving life she deserves.
