Latest News

Any updates, consultations or information which LGAWG believes will be of interest of those working in the field of animal welfare will be placed on this page. We will also use this page to highlight any news about campaigns being run by NGOs to tackle issues like puppy smuggling, poor breeding practice and responsible pet ownership. Animal welfare has gone up the ladder on the Government’s priority list and recent public polls show it is in the top 14 of the most important issues which people want positive action on so we are likely to continue seeing more Government activity in this area.
