During November the RSPCA is running a national survey to identify the animal welfare issues that worry the public, and the charity is offering a free designer t-shirt in return for taking part.

Not sure whether a free t-shirt is enough to tempt a busy veterinary surgeon, but it might make a good stocking filler. Much more importantly, I'm sure that the survey would benefit from your more informed opinion on the subject.

To take part in the survey, call the RSPCA on 0300 123 8888 for a copy of its national animal welfare questionnaire to complete and post back. In return, you'll receive a T-shirt designed by Hemingway Design (pictured right). Wayne Hemingway was a judge at this year's RSPCA Good Business Awards and is against the use of animal fur in fashion.

Commenting on the campaign, Louise Richmond, RSPCA said: "Foot and mouth and bluetongue are all over our screens at the moment but we want to find out more about what really concerns people about animal welfare. Whether it's fur in fashion, intensive farming, badger culling or dogs left in hot cars we want to know what it is that will best encourage the British public to back our campaign."
