Dogworld carry an article online about proposed amendments to the Dog farming legislation in Ireland which is due to be passed into law in the coming year.
Have a read of this.
I guessed this was going to happen.It appears the rural backbenchers have decided to put local politics before the greater picture of animal welfare.The Dogfarmers were on TV a fortnight ago wondering why they weren't being given subsidies and grants by the government on account of their valuable contribution to the economy.
I predict that the government will milk the legislation to harvest revenue from the farmers.
If this was a serious bill to improve the welfare of animals,they could surely have tried to impose a limit on the number of breeding bitches a farmer can keep.
As it stands,if the amendments go through,it's nothing more than indirect taxation and another cynical revenue gathering opportunity.
*very disappointed*
