The RSPCA have launched a new campaign to expose the dark side of the lucrative puppy trade. They have released a new video which exposes the industry and gives you, the consumer, information about avoiding the traps when buying a new puppy. Please note that this video is quite harrowing and may be upsetting.

You can sign up to the RSPCA’s campaign network and help Give Animals a Voice. They’ll email you around once a month to say what they’re up to and how you can help give animals a voice.

You can also get advice from the RSPCA about buying a puppy!

Sta Travel have launched a brand new competition offering entrants the chance to win a £10000 holiday of a lifetime. The aim of the competition is to raise £25000 for charity and for that reason entry costs £2. You even get to choose which charity you’d like to donate to!

Among the charities potentially benefiting from this initiative are The British Heart Foundation, PDSA, Shelter, Cancer Research, Barnados, Travel Foundation, The Terence Higgins Trust and The WSPA.

The entry fee is just £2 and is payable via Paypal. Only 50p of the entry fee goes to your selected charity and another 50p goes to the prize fund – where the other £1 goes is not clear. It should also be noted that the prize fund is 25% of competition entries received up to £1000 – so if there were 10000 entries the prize fund would be £5000.

A nice idea from Sta Travel but let’s see more of that entry fee going to charity!

To encourage you further to take part one lucky volunteer will win an all expenses paid luxury holiday to Mauritius with £1,000 spending money!

So do you know somebody who wants to take the plunge or perhaps you’re ready and willing to adopt the stylish, smooth and sleek look?
