Animal Welfare Charter
This Animal Welfare Charter is intended to be a living document
and as such will be reviewed periodically. It was first published
in February 2005 with the first review undertaken in February 2006.
Reviews will be made when it is considered necessary.
This charter does not cover every aspect of animal welfare, but
it does aim to detail those areas that the council considers
important and where it feels it can have some influence as a
responsible and representative public body.
The Council supports all current animal welfare legislation and
requests that members of parliament support any legislation that
will improve animal welfare conditions.
