Proceeding contribution from Ben Bradshaw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 November 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Animal Welfare Bill.


Animal Welfare Bill

That is why we are leaving it up to the discretion of vets. They will generally take their responsibilities seriously and they will require a certification that the dog will be used for shooting in some way. It is better for vets to be able to make a decision about whether a dog belongs to one of those breeds or is a mix, provided the evidence is given to them by the owner. It is not up to us to second-guess how they will arrive at that decision.
