Penrith and the Border MP Neil Hudson consulted with the All-Party Group on Cats (APGOCATS) to go over cat theft, microchipping, and brand-new animal health and well-being legislation at their parliamentary occasion.
The occasion was a possibility to go over these subjects with charities and advocates consisting of Cats Protection.
Current propositions for an animal kidnapping offense just encompass dogs and Dr Hudson and APGOCATS are requiring cats to likewise be secured.
Other federal government interventions being talked about consisted of the Animal Welfare Bill which has actually stalled throughout its procedure through the parliament.
If made into law, the expense would help restrict the import of dogs with cropped ears.
Dr Hudson has actually promoted this legislation to consist of forbiding the importation of mutilated cats too.
Charlotte Broad, from Cats Protection, said: “We know 90 per cent of cat owners see their pet as part of the family, so a decision to exclude cats from any new offences would be of extreme concern.”
