Marc campaigns for animal welfare issues in the UK and US; including promoting rescue pet adoption and responsible dog and cat breeding. In 2009 he set up PupAid, a national puppy farming awareness campaign. In June 2019, after a ten-year campaign led by Marc and over 300 visits to Westminster, the Government passed Lucy's Law into English legislation banning the commercial (for-profit/non-rescue) 3rd party trade in puppies and kittens.^[1]

Marc is also the co-founder and secretariat of the All-party Parliamentary Dog Advisory Welfare Group (APDAWG). In June 2019, after a ten-year campaign led by Marc and over 300 visits to Westminster, the Government passed Lucy's Law into English legislation banning the commercial (for-profit/non-rescue) 3rd party trade in puppies and kittens.^[1]

PupAid

Marc founded PupAid, a national puppy farming awareness campaign, in 2009. The campaign features an annual celebrity-judged dog show in London's Primrose Hill. The event features trade stalls, 'best in show' style awards like Waggiest Tail and Coolest Dog, celebrity fans and hopefully lots of sunshine, all with the intention of raising awareness about the fight against puppy farming.^[2]

PupAid aims to educate the public about the correct way to get a dog - either through rescue or from a responsible breeder - and to raise awareness about the cruel practice of puppy farming.

#BeMoreMosquito

#BeMoreMosquito: How You Can Campaign & Create Change is a book by Dr. Marc Abraham published on June 23, 2022. It is a guide for individuals to campaign for what they believe in – no matter what their cause or belief.

He shares in detail his personal campaigning tips, toolkit, and experiences from his own extraordinary journey, which included over 300 visits to Westminster. From meeting MPs and engaging with celebrities, to the role of e-government petitions and developing your own campaign brand, Marc helps guide you through how to raise awareness, dispel myths, change public and even corporate behavior, and importantly, how to make that all-important progress and influence legislation.
