Ethical Use of Animal Footage

Many of our images and videos document animals who have suffered neglect, illness, injury, or abandonment.

For ethical reasons, we do not permit footage of dogs in our care to be used in monetised or commercial content outside of Dog Desk Animal Action CIC.

We believe the suffering of rescued animals should not be used to generate income for third parties.
