Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs<p>This Government is leading the way in promoting animal welfare by bringing forward legislation that will increase the maximum custodial penalty for animal cruelty in England from 6 months’ to 5 years’ imprisonment. We have also made it a requirement for all slaughterhouses to have CCTV; updated and improved the laws regulating dog breeding and pet sales; and banned the third party sale of puppies and kittens.</p><p> </p>MacclesfieldDavid Rutley2019-07-25912192false2019-07-25T15:37:14.283Z13Environment, Food and Rural AffairsEnvironment, Food and Rural Affairs2019-07-25Animal Welfare1House of CommonsWhat steps he is taking to prevent animal cruelty.falseWalsall NorthEddie Hughes91219710011
