Rock Legends Support Anti-Farming Campaign
Brian May (Queen)
UK’s Rock Royalty have given their support to the anti-puppy farming campaign PUP AID by signing a unique Epiphone Casino guitar for dog charities.

Kicked off in September by Liam Gallagher, PUP AID 2010 was launched with the former Oasis front man kindly offering his support to raise awareness about puppy farming. Now a host of rock legends have followed suit by signing the one of a kind PUP AID Epiphone Casino Guitar kindly donated by Epiphone, due to be auctioned at Bonhams on December 15th.

Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), Keith Richards (Rolling Stones), David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), Eric Clapton, Brian May (Queen), Mick Jones (The Clash), Roger Daltrey (The Who), Paul Weller (The Jam/Style Council) and Gary Moore (Thin Lizzy) have all added their invaluable signatures to guitar.
 
PUP AID 2010 was the brainchild of TV Vet Marc Abraham and the first-ever combined music festival and celebrity-judged dog show, held in Brighton, to raise awareness about the cruel industry of puppy farming in the UK.
 
Proceeds from the auction are going to Dogs Trust, Kennel Club Charitable Trust and Oldies Club – a small charity specialising in rehoming older unwanted dogs.

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
