Thank you. I too am very concerned about both of these incidents. Officials have been in frequent contact with Ceredigion County Council. The decision to dispatch the animal was taken by the county council along with Dyfed-Powys Police, officials from Welsh Government and also the chief veterinary officer. There are several issues that I think need to be looked into very carefully around the licence. At the moment, there is a specialist veterinary inspection being undertaken. That should conclude today. Again, I've asked my officials to keep in contact and to brief me as soon as we've had that information. We don't want to second-guess what's going to happen, but I think it is very important that we look at all the facts here.
