<p>I can assure you that the Government shares the public’s high regard for animal
welfare, including the welfare of dogs, and we are committed to making the UK a world
leader in protection of animals as we leave the EU. The Government has made wide ranging
commitments on animal welfare.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is appalled by the prospect
of dogs being consumed. However, it is already illegal to sell dog meat for human
consumption and the Government has seen no evidence that dog meat is being sold or
consumed in this country. We are confident that the current position in this country
sends a clear message that the slaughter and consumption of dogs will never be acceptable.</p>
