I’ve signed an open letter addressed to Lord Goldsmith, the Minister of State at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, responsible for animal welfare.
The letter urges the Government to continue to take urgent action to stop the illegal importation of dogs into the UK, and highlights some key legislative recommendations.
The Government have made great improvements in this area, but more action is needed to prevent many more puppies and adult dogs suffering at the hands of the criminals involved in this trade.
