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

LUNA IS NOT THE ONLY DOG THEY DO THIS TO! These dogs have no food or water available and are unable to move or get beaten. Luna is also used for breeding. You can tell she was recently pregnant.

We are calling on The Big Issue to urgently investigate their vendors with dogs treatment, arrange an independent animal welfare assessment and take immediate steps to protect them 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 and these dogs have no voice, they can’t just walk away, but they have us. Please don’t scroll past her. Help us make sure she gets the safe, comfortable and loving life she deserves.
