Family still fighting after daughter killed by dogs at friend's sleepover

The family of a teenage girl who was mauled to death by four dogs at a friend's sleepover are still fighting for change.

Mike and Shirley Anderson’s 14-year-old daughter, Jade Lomas-Anderson, was mauled to death by two bull mastiffs and two bull terriers at a friend’s house in Wigan in 2013 after going there for a sleepover. They told of their disgust at having three requests to meet DEFRA Secretary Therese Coffey ignored over the past two months in a bid to stop more tragedies.

Jade’s parents have called for previous legislation – achieved after they lobbied the Government – to be ripped up. Mike said the fault for two deaths since his first call for action last month lies squarely at the Government’s door, MirrorOnline reports.
