Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Baroness Kramer (Liberal Democrat), on Monday, 20 July 2009, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 52 members in total.
SALE OF IMPORTED DOGS
That this House recognises that the vile process of farming puppies for sale is illegal under the Breeding and Sale of Dogs (Welfare) Act 1999; notes that puppies from breeding farms can however be legally imported for sale, including from the Republic of Ireland, despite evidence that they experience high rates of genetic deformity and congenital illnesses; and calls on the Government to bring forward legislative proposals to close the loophoole which permits the import and sale in pet shops of dogs from breeding farms.
