This is amazing news. The legislation anyone who has pets or works with animals has been waiting a long time for, it brings their welfare to a whole new level - and rightly so!
Penny Mordaunt MP has just confirmed that The Kept Animals Bill will go through its remaining stages in the House of Commons on the 19th of September and will then head to the House of Lords. Thank you to everyone for your tireless calls for action and so many organisations and individuals for your support! Iām very much looking forward to this vital bill for animal welfare becoming law, ushering in the end of: the importation of cropped dogs, puppy smuggling, live exports, livestock worrying, the keeping of primates as pets and the implementation of the dog abduction offence! šš„³šŖ
