Puppy Farming After Brexit

[jamesbrown]

Never really liked puppies. Cat-monkeys are where it’s at.

I just hope the UK does not go the same way as the EU on veal.

At least Andrex (a British brand , though owned by the yanks ) will be able to supply a Labrador puppy tied to each roll.

More puppies and kittens will make for a more peaceful society. Just got to find work for them all when they are fully grown.

[rubs chin] Got it, guide dogs to help the elderly get about, and cat burglars to keep them stocked up with stuff when they're too old to get about. Leave your unwanted items by the cat flap. Sorted.

Puppy Farming After Brexit

Will this be because no-one can afford beef, pork, lamb or chicken?

[SueEllen]

Wot about manufacturers of equipment for construction, agriculture, waste handling and demolition?

That can all go the former Easten Bloc and Eire where it will be easier to sell to the EU and other countries like China.

Though I guess people will still want Brompton bikes, Jam and Whisky made in the UK.

Anyone who knows anything about puppy farming knows a lot of the animals in the UK traditionally come from Eire whether they are pets or racing dogs.

Is Gove really going to feck Eire off?

Puppy farming is cruel and exploitive

Instead we can focus on "angry" journalism, a small design office for vacuum cleaners and Weatherspoons.

Brexit is an excellent opportunity to get rid of all those unwanted businesses and industries such as investment banks, the ever "remoaning" car industry, aerospace, EU subsidised agriculture fishing etc etc.

On the R4 Farming Today programme, farmers were hailing Brexit as an opportunity to get rid the unnecessary animal welfare regulations.

Well as they will lose their subsidies they won't be able to afford to have animals let alone provide them animal welfare.

just ban dogs.
all they do is yap at one end and krap at the other.

Some animals are working dogs e.g. sheep dogs, guide dogs, deaf dogs, stopping someone have a fit and collapse dogs so won't happen.

Though those dogs tend not to be bred in Eire.

MICHAEL Gove has hit back at claims the UK Government does not want to treat animals as sentient beings after Brexit.

The Environment Secretary blamed social media for presenting a false impression after the House of Commons rejected an amendment to the Brexit legislation, which would have brought EU animal protection provisions into UK law.

Mr Gove insisted British legislation would be enacted to prevent a gap in animal welfare provisions opening up after withdrawal from the EU.

He told BBC Radio Four's Today programme: "I don't think that there will be a gap because I think what we are going to do is ensure we have stronger protection written into law in order to ensure that there is no gap.

"We will ensure that there is no gap in the operation of the law, and there is no way in which animal protection can be diminished in any way, in any shape, or in any form.

"On social media there was a suggestion that somehow MPs had voted against the principle that animals are sentient beings. That did not happen,” the Scot insisted.

"It is better to have an absolutely well-designed piece of UK legislation, rather than a poorly designed piece of EU legislation.

"We want to use an appropriate legislative vehicle in order to recognise the principle of animal sentience."

Mr Gove said that Brexit could lead to stronger animal welfare measures in areas like live exports and puppy farming.
