Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Kelvin Hopkins (Labour), on Monday, 23 May 2016, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 149 members in total.
ORGANISED DOG FIGHTING
That this House regrets, despite it being illegal for 200 years, that organised dog fighting is still a daily occurrence in the UK; abhors this horrendous abuse as among the worst that can be inflicted on an animal; believes that penalties should be increased to ensure that the punishment reflects the severity of the crime and that a national register of individuals with banning orders is necessary to prevent repeat offences; and commends the League Against Cruel Sports for its report on dog fighting in local communities, and its call for a national dog fighting strategy.
