Sale Of Puppies In Pet Shops
EDM number 11 in 2013-14, proposed by Naomi Long on 08/05/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Animal welfare, Animals, Media and Regulation.
That this House recognises that dogs are not a retail commodity and should be bought only from licensed breeders; notes that the internet and local news media are used to advertise the sale of puppies; is concerned that these advertisements are unregulated with no controls to identify the breeder, or the source of these animals; and urges the Government to review and strengthen the existing Breeding and Sale of Dogs (Welfare) Act 1999 and to introduce legislation to govern the advertising and breeding of dogs.
This motion has been signed by a total of 12 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
