Animal Welfare
- Question
- (2) what recent estimate she has made of the number of animal sanctuaries there are in England.
- Answer
-
Because animal sanctuaries are not regulated there is a lack of comprehensive data on their numbers in England. The Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) which accompanied the Animal Welfare Bill, published on 14 October 2005, gave a conservative estimate of 700 sanctuaries in England and Wales based on previous consultations with animal sanctuary interests. It is not known what percentage of animal sanctuaries are open to the general public.
