Make all domestic animal breeding a regulated practice protecting the animals
We want all animal breeders to pay for a licence to breed animals. This licence fee would go toward the cost of regulating the industry. I want officers to be able to do random checks on breeders, and available if someone is concerned about a breeders’ practices with heavy fines for non-compliance.

Regulate and reform veterinary care
We call on the UK Government to establish regulatory oversight of veterinary care. This should include written treatment plans, itemised bills, consent safeguards, and accountability for corporate-owned practices which we believe profit from distress.
Require licence for all dog breeding in the UK and bring in new ownership laws
Make breeding dogs at home illegal and only allow dog breeding with a licence from the Government. Establish a cap on the amount of dogs bred yearly. Require neutering before purchase. Increase legal minimum age of dogs sold and require basic training for owners. Require licences for dog owners.
Change laws regarding abuse of multiple animals
We believe each animal’s suffering deserves justice. For those who abuse multiple animals, we want separate charges to be required for each animal abused, rather than a single charge. We think strong consistent sentences will deter mass animal abuse cases.
Stronger penalties for animal cruelty and stricter regulations on animal sales
Every year, countless animals suffer at the hands of people who intentionally harm, neglect, or kill them. While the Animal Welfare Act increased maximum penalties in England and Wales, we think too many offenders still face minimal consequences — sending the message that animal lives don’t matter.
Change the DDA 1991 to stop breed bans and focus on behaviour
We ask the Government to reform the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 by removing breed-specific legislation and replacing it with behaviour-based laws. We think legislation should focus on responsible ownership, training, and education to improve public safety without unfairly targeting certain dog breeds.
