The National Lottery should support Animal Charities
Currently the National Lottery does not support animal charities in any way. Lotto draws & hence Camelot profits are funded by the general public. Money granted to “good causes” is therefore (taxed) public money.
We the people have the right to suggest they what the lottery system does or does not grant funds to.
Lotto grants do support human charities, but they also fund the UK Film Council and in a more bizarre act they recently funded a study on the “History of Strawberry Growing” to the sum of £15K.
As a Nation of pet owners and those who directly fund the money which goes into Camelot; WE call upon the Government to change lottery legislation to encompass the granting of funds to; Animal Charities including those charities providing free veterinary care for people who cannot afford it. It is in the Public Interest that the lottery funds causes in which the public have an interest in, such as NWESSR, Blue Cross, RSPCA, WSPA etc.
Paul Duncan, Chairman NWESSR
