Review animal welfare regulations to prevent cross-border puppy farming — 10 signatures. Status: open.
We call on the Government to take action to ensure that puppies are not being transported between different parts of the UK from irresponsible breeders, so called “puppy farms”. We believe a change to the law is needed to ensure there are no “loopholes” in the law.
We call on the Government to amend the law to: 1. Mandate a point-of-birth handover, legally requiring all puppy sales to happen at the exact physical property where the litter was born making long-distance retail shipping illegal. 2. Prohibit local authorities from issuing separate, individual breeding licences to different corporate entities or individuals operating out of the same physical address/farm complex.
