<p>We have strong animal welfare standards for pets in this country, and have taken
recent steps to enhance those protections including banning the third party sale of
puppies and kittens, updating the companion animal welfare codes and introducing legislation
to increase the maximum penalty for animal cruelty to 5 years imprisonment. These
standards will be maintained when we leave the EU and we will look to strengthen standards
further where supported by scientific and veterinary evidence.</p><p> </p>
