Will the Cabinet Secretary confirm whether it is the Welsh Government's intention to consider a ban on the sale of kittens in high street pet shops?
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Planning and Rural Affairs | Answered on 20/06/2018
The Animal Welfare Code for Cats is currently being revised. This will provide an opportunity to strengthen the advice provided relating to the breeding and selling of kittens and cats. We will consult on the draft code before autumn recess. In addition, we continue to endorse the work of the Pet Advertising Advisory Council covering issues such as the responsible advertising and sourcing of pets.
