WELFARE OF FARMED PUPPIES

That this House is concerned by reports of the harm caused by puppy trafficking; congratulates The Kennel Club on its exposure of this problem and its enforcement of strict rules on breeders in the UK; welcomes the caring approach to puppy farming by responsible UK breeders and notes the excellent work undertaken on this issue by the RSPCA, particularly in respect of puppies imported, often from Eire, in a poor state of health and misdescribed in advertisements; and calls on the Government to review policy in this area in order to improve the welfare of farmed puppies and to protect the interests of future puppy owners.
