Launch of the Draft Animal Welfare Bill
Author: Great Britain. Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 9780101625227
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
The UK established the world's first animal welfare protection laws, with the passing of the Protection of Animals Act in 1911 which made it an offence to cause unnecessary suffering to any domestic or captive animal. This draft Bill, which extends to England and Wales, seeks to consolidate and modernise the legislation in line with current animal welfare standards, including the reforms undertaken in other countries such as New Zealand and Sweden. Amongst its provisions, which are grouped under 10 headings, the draft Bill seeks to: i) establish a duty of care to ensure the welfare of all kept animals, enabling animal welfare organisations to intervene where there is evidence an animal is being kept in conditions likely to lead to suffering, rather than having to wait for evidence that the animal has suffered abuse before legal action can be taken; ii) prohibit the sale of pets to children under 16; iii) end the practice of giving pets, including goldfish, as prizes, for example at funfairs; and iv) make offences of animal cruelty or keeping animals for fighting arrestable offences, with the maximum penalty leading to imprisonment upto 51 weeks or a fine of upto £20,000, or both. This publication contains the text of the draft Bill, explanatory notes and a regulatory impact assessment.

Languages : en
Pages : 14
Book Description
The Bill seeks to provide additional powers for officials to slaughter animals in order to control the spread of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD). This report considers the Bill's compatibility with human rights concerns regarding: the imposition of criminal liability on those who refuse to assist an inspector when required to do so; inspection powers to enter premises under warrant without giving prior notice or obtaining the consent of the occupier to destroy animals; and the absence of a right to appeal against a decision to destroy animals before that decision is implemented. Overall, the Committee concludes that: the Bill provides a clear example of the need for the Government and Parliament, and those who ultimately will have responsibility for implementing its provisions, to strike a balance between the public interest and the rights of individuals; and that information on any decisions made should be presented to Parliament.
