Dame Karen Bradley - Plan to cut puppy smuggling in Staffordshire Moorlands

Churnet sound news



Dog lovers in Staffordshire Moorlands will soon be assured about the health and welfare of their puppies thanks to a proposed new law.

Plans for a new law to prevent puppy smugglers from importing poorly and ill dogs were backed in Parliament on Friday.

Under the Animal Welfare (importation of Dogs, Cats and Ferrets) Bill, people selling pets would be banned from importing puppies under six months old, while heavily pregnant dogs would also not be allowed to travel, while ‘mutilated’ animals, such as puppies with cropped ears, would also be stopped.

The plans have been brought forward in a Private Members Bill and Moorlands MP, Dame Karen Bradley met puppies Pixie and Bruce on Friday in Westminster Hall to show her support.

The Bill will also cover the importation of cats and ferrets into the country.

Karen commented,

“It was lovely to meet Pixie and Bruce to show my support for this Bill.

“Many of you write to me with your concerns about animal welfare and by ensuring pets can only be brought into this country in the proper and correct ways, this Bill will help bring puppy smuggling to an end.”
