Proceeding contribution from Lord Kirkhill (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 24 May 2006. It occurred during Committee proceeding and Debate on bill on Animal Welfare Bill.
Animal Welfare Bill
I very much support the amendment. I am conscious of the fact that my noble friend Lord Lipsey has made significant improvement. But the information that I receive from time to time suggests that the welfare of retired greyhounds, in particular, is entirely inadequate. There are a lot of ruthless owners and ruthless disposals of greyhounds, and great carelessness in the continued well-being of many greyhounds once they finish racing. That issue has not been properly addressed by the greyhound racing authorities.
