Lucy's Law: Puppy farm ban set to be confirmed
Marc Abraham, Lucy's Law campaigner and founder of Pup Aid, said:"I'm absolutely thrilled that Lucy's Law is now being laid in Parliament and will come into effect from April 2020.
"Lucy's Law is named after one of the sweetest, bravest dogs I've ever known, and is a fitting tribute to all the victims of the cruel third party puppy trade, both past and present." But Paula Boyden, veterinary director at Dogs Trust, the UK's largest dog welfare charity, urged the government to go further.
She said:"We would like to see additional measures introduced to ensure the ban is as robust as possible. "There is time before April 2020 for the government to consider regulation of re-homing organisations and sanctuaries, ensure full traceability of all puppies sold, and strengthening of the pet travel scheme."
