Animal Welfare Bill — New Clause "8" — Docking of dogs' tails — Working dogs — 14 Mar 2006 at 19:27

Those voting No rejected a change to the new clause that had just been added into the Animal Welfare Bill by Division 187.

The change would have removed the exception to the ban on the docking of dogs' for working dogs by deleting the subsections (3) to (6) which defined what a working dog was. Had this change been accepted (by there being more Aye voters than No voters), the removal of a dog's tail would only be lawful for the purposes of medical treatment.

The amendment was supported by a wide coalition of animal welfare groups, including the RSPCA, but was opposed by shooting interests such as the Countryside Alliance and the British Association for Shooting and Conservation.
