After days of copy-pasting press contacts, my brain may have melted slightly, because no, 3 people per signer does not magically get us to 30,000 but 3,000. A case of fatigued optimism over basic arithmetic. Still, the point stands: it’s about reaching a tipping point.

Over 350 press emails have gone out across the country, and... crickets. It seems this campaign isn’t considered headline-worthy. PR and social media aren’t exactly our home turf, so if you’ve got experience in either and a few sharp ideas, we’d love to hear from you.

There are two months left before this campaign is shelved. Two months to push, build momentum and show that this issue does matter.

Request #1
The platform hosting the petition hasn’t made it easy to access supporter comments in a usable format. If you know how to build a simple web scraper, that would help immensely.

Request #2
So far, we’ve reached out to vets, dog trainers, pet stores, dog clubs and animal welfare groups. What we could really use now is a bit of celebrity endorsement. If you have a connection to a Martin Rütter type or other public animal advocate, please consider giving them a nudge.

If you can share, connect, advise, or help in any way - now is the time.
