Pup Farm Disgrace
|
WAG are delighted that another puppy farmer has been convicted but we are now seriously concerned that yet another puppy farmer claimed to be bankrupt yet the size of his alleged operation would appear that he was earning more than that necessary for 'household bills'. This, if true, would seem to be another scam run by puppy farmers to evade any possibility of their liability in refunding money taken as comlies with the sale of goods legislation. We will now be looking to the politicians to close this 'loophole' and prevent the public from being vicitms of another rogue deal! |

Animal Welfare Delivery Strategy
W.A.G. received the following email from the Animal Welfare Core Function...
Dear Sir/Madam We would like to announce the publication of the Animal Welfare Delivery Strategy (AWDS) for England. The AWDS builds on the principles set out in the 2004 Great Britain Animal Health and Welfare Strategy and is consistent with the new Animal Welfare Act. The strategy has been developed with the help of external advisers and responds to requests from animal interest groups for more detailed information on the Government's priorities in this area.
The Strategy will be of interest to all people who have responsibility for animals and reinforces the Government's commitment to high animal welfare standards. The strategy places an increased emphasis on sharing responsibility for good animal welfare. It highlights the importance of innovative delivery mechanisms which build on the achievements already made through legislation and stakeholder led initiatives. We will be working closely with stakeholders to achieve the goals set out in the strategy.
The Strategy is available to view on our website at: http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/ahws/default.htm
