Proceeding contribution from Ann Widdecombe (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Animal Welfare Bill.
Animal Welfare Bill
I am very grateful to my hon. Friend for giving way. First, how young a puppy has he dealt with, and was that puppy a vegetable, or did it actually exhibit reactions? Secondly, does he agree that unless there is a serious purpose to docking, even if it causes only minimal pain it is wrong because of the other consequences? Finally, after all that, does he accept that there is also research, which I think was quoted earlier, that shows that puppies do feel the pain?
