Proceeding contribution from Greg Hands (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 June 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Dangerous Dogs.
Dangerous Dogs
The Minister might remember that I had an Adjournment debate on 8 May 2007 on the subject of dog fighting. I agree that we need better enforcement of the existing legislation and we do not need to create a huge number of new offences, but I suggested in that debate that we create a specific offence of breeding dogs for fighting. That could be an effective tool in closing down some of the dog breeding factories that are run specifically for the purpose of fighting.
