Help stop Pet Markets being legalised
From Dog pages forum:-
Under the new Animal Welfare Bill, announced on 14th July 2004, the government is planning to legalise all sales in pet animals, including itinerant trading such as markets and fairs. This would be a major step backward for animal welfare in Britain, leading to a dramatic increase in one-day sales of birds, reptiles and fish. These animals spend their lives crammed into tiny cages and boxes being transported around the country. As many birds and reptiles in the pet trade are wild-caught, this change in the law will have a devastating impact on wild populations. More exotic animals in private homes will undoubtedly lead to more cruelty or neglect cases as their complex needs can not be met in a captive environment. The Bill is now being scrutinised by a sub-committee which will recommend changes based on submissions theyıve received during the consultation period. If any of these sub-committee members are your MP, please help us persuade them to drop the legalisation of pet fairs from the Bill. You can write, email, fax or ring them. Better still; make an appointment to meet them at a surgery or in their office.

> Pet Shows and Sales (not markets) are legal in the UK. Selling pets at an outdoor market is illegal and has been for years. This law is not being changed and nobody is trying to change it so pets and animals can be sold at markets. Before you jump on a band wagon look into both sides of a story not just animal rights propoganda. I thought you were an animal lover Alison, not an animal rights fanatic, who are intent on stopping the keeping of ALL animals not just exotics. |
