Update: 2025-12-22
Description
The UK governments new animal welfare strategy aims to boost protections for pets, farm animals, and wildlife. Key plans include reforming dog breeding, licensing rescue centers, promoting responsible pet ownership, ending colony cages for laying hens and pig farrowing crates, tackling issues like carbon dioxide stunning for pigs, and encouraging slower-growing chicken breeds. The strategy also bans trail hunting, outlaws snare traps, and imposes a close season for hares. However, farmers and opposition voices warn these changes could let cheap imports from countries with lower standards undercut British producers. Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds promises these steps will set a gold standard, with the full document set to drop today.
