The UK House of Lords discusses the Live Exports Bill impacting farming and trade with the EU. Various bills, including the Animal Welfare Import of Dogs, Cats and Ferrets Bill, are being supported and progressed in Parliament to protect animals from suffering during illegal importation. The Livestock Exports Bill, aiming to end the export of live animals for slaughter and fattening from Great Britain, has reached an important milestone in the House of Lords. Minister Mark Spencer confirms full government support for the bill, which replaces measures from the dropped Kept Animals Bill. New laws banning the import of pets that have been dreadfully treated, such as heavily pregnant cats and dogs, mutilated dogs, or declawed cats, are being passed, reflecting efforts to protect animal welfare.
Pleased to be here in the Chamber to support my friend @SelaineSaxby for her important bill https://t.co/CBrNrR9FYE

North Norfolk loves its pets. I am so pleased to have stayed in Parliament today to help pass new laws banning the import of pets that have been dreadfully treated. Heavily pregnant cats and dogs, mutilated dogs or declawed cats, all suffer immensely. All of this will be banned. https://t.co/kPX2GHye5R
