As you go to bed tonight, spare a thought for a police officer. An officer who will now have to justify their decision to fire their weapon. An officer who has to come to terms that they killed someone. An officer who may be sat on the edge of their bed, reliving today.

No! No! No!. You can train a dog to do anything, such is their loyalty. Why would any dog trainer train them to run towards their probable own serious injury or death? Utterly immoral. A live incident is totally different to a training exercise. The dog would be shot.
#FinnHour
It gives us great pleasure to present to you all
#FinnsLaw
Congratulations to you all for making a stand on behalf of our service animals.
The previous legal position was outrageously unjust. You have played a part in righting this injustice.

Yet again we are hearing the same comments on ear-cropping. The question is not where or how ear-cropping is done or by whom. The real question is why do some humans think they have the right to have their puppy's ears cut off?

Social media can be a toxic place sometimes but when it pulls together, it is a powerful community which can bring positivity. We are so pleased to hear that Twiglet has been returned. Well done everyone for standing up for Twiglet and her family. ❤️🐾❤️🐾

Could it be that today is the momentus day when animals are legally recognised as sentient beings, capable of experiencing feelings and pain? We wish the Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill a warm welcome as it returns to
@HouseofCommons
for its final stages.
What a refreshing and wonderful thing to see. A very high, public platform to highlight dogs available for adoption. Far more preferable than footballers parading their own cropped dogs for SM likes.
#AdoptDontShop
#FinnHour
We are disappointed to hear that there is insufficient parliamentary time to deal with the Animal Welfare (Sentencing) Bill. We had feared this may be the case.
We will be working hard over the summer to ensure that this Government Bill is high on the agenda.
As we wake on this
#FinnsLawFriday
absolutely delighted with the announcement of Government support, we share a thought for all animals we have not been able to protect. True heroes, each and everyone. ❤🐾
What happen's to
#FinnsLaw
now?
The Bill will now be delivered to HRH The Queen
@RoyalFamily
who will sign it. The Bill returns to Westminster and an announcement is made to confirm her signature.
The provisions of the Bill come onto force 2 months later.
Another person charged under

We would like to report that PD Gus is fine. He was struck with a object during the incident but was given k9 medic assistance straight away. He is enjoying a day in the sun today with his k9 sister PD Holly!

Good evening every one. We haven't forgotten you. We have some very big and exciting announcements coming up over the next week regarding various things we are working on. For tonight only, we will be unusually quiet. make the most of it as it doesn't happen often. 😉
Same offender sentenced for 2 counts of criminal damage (amongst other offences), slashing Police car tyres - 18 months custodial, stabbing Police Dog 3 times - 6 months custodial!
It is time to give

to proceed!

Good morning all. 🤗 And so the day of the 3rd reading begins. We will try and keep you updated as the day progresses but bear with us if we are not instant.
Thank you for sending us forward with tangible support.
We cannot express how angry this makes us.
@WMPDogs
16 yr old carrying such a weapon and injuring PD Stark. We hope the " youth" felt every one of PD Stark's 42 teeth and the full force of his jaws of justice.
It appears that our mere existance annoys or irritates some of you. Well, we have the answer.All you have to do is unfollow us. It's quite simple really.We'll not be offended. In fact,it will release you from boredom, constant tutting and eye rolling when our postings appear. 👍
To those of you who have new MP's, we urge you to contact them and ask them to add their support to the Animal Welfare (Sentencing) Bill when it is presented to Westminster in the very near future. This Bill will result in the much needed

As previously advised, the case of Criminal Damage relating to an injured PD was due to be heard tomorrow. We are pleased to update you that the accused has altered their plea to "Guilty".
We await to hear what sentence they receive.

Still in disbelief and shock about the tragic events resulting in PC Harper's death. We have seen some disturbing posts and images in the press and on SM. Now is the time for decency and investigation, not sensationalisation and speculation. Please, have some

To our amazing followers, we are aware that some of you have been subjected to some rude,aggressive and coercive tweets from people just for supporting us, our aims and focus. Our message to you is this, you have the right to follow and support whoever you choose.
#SayNoToBullies
Be under no illusions, whoever did this is a very dangerous person. They need to be caught and quickly. Stabbing horses is a huge flag of the ability to commit extreme violence. Anyone with any ingormation, please, do not protect this person.

Somewhere tonight more people are fighting for their lives. Some are public figures, some are health professionals, some are members of the public. Apart from this blasted virus they share one other thing in common. They are all loved ones of someone.

Did you know that there are currently 6 Police Dogs and 4 Prison Dogs working on the Isle of Man?
We'd like

It sounds like Urbane made some friends too.
Go safely fella.
Thank you so much for showing your gratitude to Bomber. A quick update, he is of course, spending his retirement years with his dad. This boy is going nowhere ❤🐾
#FinnHour
We would like to thank you for your continued support, particularly
@OliverHealdUK
as he shares our frustration at waiting to be allocated a Committee date. 2018 has seen PD's and PH's beaten, bitten, strangled and stabbed. It's time for

🤬🤬🤬 Yet another out of control dog and wreckless owner. The dog is a result of its upbringing.
We hope the horses will recover from this mentally as well as physically.
Shocking moment out-of-control dog attacks police horse
Sustained neglect over a period of yrs.Sentence? Curfew, community order, fine and ban from keeping animals. That'll teach them hey

Bring fwd the Animal Welfare (Sentencing) Bill. Give the Cts the scope to deliver appropriate sentences.
We are hoping that Finn receives an equally warm reception when he returns to Westminster on Wednesday for Committee as he did previously.

We were hopeful of a warm reception

today. We are totally overwhelmed with the depth and strength of support

received at the successful 2nd Reading today.
In light of the assault on PD Axle overnight the need for

By continuing with such blatent acts of sadistic savagery, they prove your point, Chris. They are not able to put forward any meaningful opposing argument to you because they have none. All they have are threats, violence and intimidation to any who challenge them.

@K9Finn
We have received so many messages following Finns Law coming into force, but this one, in particular, means so much.
When people scoffed or ridiculed Dave or the campaign, the final paragraph explains perfectly why we perservered. ❤🐾

Today is an important day... remember PD Axle being stabbed? Today is sentencing day... we await confirmation of the sentence.

As you all know, one of the fundamental principles behind Finn's Law was that Police Animals are not "property".
We are so disappointed to see the wording on these dog tags..
