Dogs owners march on UK parliament demanding new Brexit 'Wooferendum'

LONDON (Reuters) - Around a thousand dogs and their owners marched on Britain's parliament on Sunday demanding an end to Brexit via a second vote on the terms of the country's exit from the European Union.

 

Organizers of the so-called "Wooferendum" campaign argued that animals would suffer from leaving the EU, saying there would be a shortage of vets and a rise in pet food costs.

 

Bulldogs, both English and French breeds, were among those walked through central London to Parliament Square. One grey Schnauzer wore a homemade banner declaring "Brexit's Barking Mad".

 

The march backed a wider campaign for a 'People's Vote' on Brexit, at which Britons would have the chance to vote on whatever Brexit deal Prime Minister Theresa May is able to bring back from Brussels.

 

At several 'Pee Stations' along the route, dogs were encouraged to urinate on images of Brexiteers like former foreign minister Boris Johnson and ex-UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage - key faces in the 2016Brexit referendum campaign.

So sad, I used to admire Britain. Now they are just as rudderless as everyone else.

[Sir Dude]

Demanding a "Wooferendum" huh...people have lost their minds. How does an idea like this gain traction? Bunch of raving loonies.

No matter which way you vote on Brexit, there need to be more cogent and persuasive arguments than this.

UK going to the dogs, and the dogs are going to Parliament. Did I see a sign "Make a real bitch PM, not this human"? (I hope I can say that, as "bitch" is a female dog, don't  you know. No slam on T Maybe intended...)

[Darkside Gray]

Stupid, stupid people. How will affect the dogs, dogs don't pay vets bill, buy food, only affect will be for the owners.

Leading Donald Trump to tweet that his image should have been there too.

How pathetic

[billd766]

Good for them. Injecting some humour and laughter into Brexit which if the truth be known is very boring.

 

It is the same reason that Screaming Lord Sutch and the Monster Raving Looney were quite popular.
