Motion text

That this House notes public concern regarding puppy farms producing animals in excess of demand; is concerned that this leads to damage to the welfare and health of dogs; further notes an upward trend in abandoned dogs and in the number of dogs being advertised in the media; is concerned that this leads to serious repercussions for dog and animal welfare shelters that deal with unwanted animals; and urges the Government to improve regulations and advertising criteria at breeding establishments and to encourage local authorities to carry out more stringent inspections to tackle this issue at source.
