Please, Give a Stray a Christmas Dinner

29 October 2001

The BVA:Animal Welfare Foundation announced today the availability of A4 and A3 posters inviting veterinary surgeons' clients to "Please, Give a Stray a Christmas Dinner" through the donation of cans or packages of dog or cat food for distribution over Christmas to local animal charities.

Veterinary surgeons who have participated in the campaign before report that clients are more than happy to make this practical contribution to animal welfare while charities are highly appreciative of the extra food, at what is, regrettably, one of their busiest times of year.

Copies of the posters are available, free of charge, from the BVA.

Notes for Editors:

1. Copies of both the A3 and A4 posters are enclosed.
2. The Give a Stray Christmas Dinner campaign was launched on a nationwide basis in 1989 following the success of a local campaign organised by the North West Surrey Veterinary Group in 1988.
3. For further information, including copies of the posters, please contact Helena Cotton or Nadin Sajakow on 020 7636 6541.
