Defra is working with a range of organisations, including the Canine and Feline Sector Group, to consider the impacts of a possible ban, including the impacts on rescue and rehoming centres. Any proposal to bring such centres into the scheme of licensing under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018 would be subject to full public consultation.
