P-05-915 Call for better enforcement of puppy farms in Wales
This
petition was submitted by Laura Clays having collected a total of 112
signatures.
Text of Petition
Following on from the disturbing
footage of puppy farms in Wales we need to see greater enforcement of the
licensing of puppy farms carried out by local councils in Wales.
Recommendations:
Closing puppy farms that
do not meet the required criteria
Prosecuting puppy farms
that put animal welfare in danger
Greater transparency on
regulated visits - there should be public records like those published by the
Food Standards Agency on the hygiene ratings of restaurants. The public should
be able to review the inspection records.
