    Story

    In recent months we've seen the barbaric abuse of two dogs in Redcar. Both dogs had to be put down having suffered immeasurable pain. RSPCA inspectors say both cases have been the most distressing cruelty they have ever seen.

    Redcar residents unquestionably love their pets and condemn this abuse which has shook this town and the country, unequivocally. These horrific acts affects us all as a nation and the success of this project will be testament of both love of our pets and rejection of cruelty to all animals.

    I am appealing to the nation to help create a symbolic and unique Memorial Dog Park in Redcar to celebrate dogs and to remember those past.

    Creating a park with the appropriate infrastructure, exercise equipment, security, benches, a dog friendly café and appropriate dog bins will see a dedicated group manage the facilities. This unique park would welcome many dog owners local and further afield to visit and in turn increase opportunities around community activity, dog related services, trade and jobs.

    Redcar has a very strong and loving dog community and nowhere is that more evident than around the Majuba entrance of Coatham Bay along Redcar's incredible sea front. There are dogs and their owners arriving here at a continuous stream everyday, all day. Dog owners love to exercise their dogs here and therefore this area would be an ideal location for this initiative.

    It would be the intention to name the park in celebration and remembrance of the two dogs lost.
    i.e. "Baby Scamp Memorial Play Park for Dogs".

    Anna Turley Redcar MP said "I wholeheartedly support this campaign as a dog owner." Anna
    has created a Private Members Bill to strengthen punishment over animal abuse.

        I think this is a great idea and I look forward to visiting. Let's hope it catches on in other areas and that it puts an end to animal cruelty.
