Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs – in the Senedd at 1:52 pm on 20 September 2017.
Well, Cabinet Secretary, I have asked you, obviously, two specific questions now, and it seems to me that the Welsh Government is dithering on both. There is a perception, therefore, that the Welsh Government talks big on animal welfare issues but delivers very little. For example, when do you intend to review the effectiveness of the Animal Welfare (Breeding of Dogs) (Wales) Regulations 2014? When will you address the issue of the breeding, trade and keeping of exotic pets in Wales? Therefore, when will we start seeing specific action to deliver better animal welfare across Wales, including some concrete timescales on these policies?
