Welfare Of Racing Greyhounds

EDM number 386 in 2009-10, proposed by Mike Hancock on 08/12/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Animal welfare and Sports.

That this House calls on the Government to acknowledge that the draft regulations under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 on the welfare of the 30,000 greyhounds used for racing are, following consultation, acceptable only to the gambling industry and have been conclusively rejected by over 10,000 concerned individuals and animal welfare organisations because of their inadequacies in regulation and extension to kennelling and retirement; and further calls on the Government to ensure that hon. Members are given adequate opportunity to consider the provisions of any regulation laid before the House before being asked to decide on them.

This motion has been signed by a total of 175 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
