West Berkshire locals are being asked to sign a petition to require the Government to act to end puppy smuggling.
The Liberal Democrat celebration has actually released an online campaign at the very same time as criticising Newbury’s MP for backing postponing the Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill.
“The Conservative Party promised to deliver this bill in their election manifesto, and the Government even drafted the wording of the new law,” said council leader Lee Dillon (Lib Dem, Thatcham North East).
“It is shameful that Laura Farris has broken her promise to protect animals from cruel smuggling gangs.
“Laura Farris and this Conservative Government have left pet owners, animal welfare charities and residents of West Berkshire rightfully angry.

“The Liberal Democrats want to see greater protections for puppies, with criminals who target our beloved pets handed harsher punishments.”
On Wednesday, June 21, the Liberal Democrats re-tabled the Government puppy smuggling costs.
But Conservative MPs, consisting of Mrs Farris, declined to back a movement to bring the costs back within the next month and rather released another assessment.
West Berkshire Liberal Democrats have actually criticised the relocation, implicating the Government of breaking another manifesto promise and permitting traffickers to make use of the family pet market.
