Proceeding contribution from Duke of Montrose (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 14 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Animal Welfare Bill.


Animal Welfare Bill

I think that the legislation now says that the owner has a responsibility for seeing that the animals are not treated cruelly. Therefore, the owner will perhaps be convicted on a second count. The manager might be convicted of being cruel and the owner also convicted for leaving circumstances where that could happen.
