Proceeding contribution from Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer (Liberal Democrat) 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 support the sentiment behind the proposal and the exploration of the issue, but I wonder whether the word ““play”” is a touch anthropomorphic. However, I have not amended the amendment; if I had, I might have proposed, ““live, sleep and exercise””, because for a lot of animals living in unfortunate conditions the inability to sleep as they would choose is probably as severe a punishment as anything. The concept of playing is probably covered by the word ““exercise””, but that is a small quibble. The noble Duke raises a very interesting point.
