Puppy Smuggling

Proceeding contribution from Alex Sobel (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 2 April 2019. It occurred during Debate on Puppy Smuggling.

I recently spoke to a constituent who had driven 200 miles to pick up a French bulldog puppy. It was meant to be the perfect family pet, but after its first check it emerged that it had both heart and kidney problems, as a result of bad breeding practices at what turned out to be a puppy-farming operation. I wholeheartedly support the hon. Gentleman’s call for better regulation of puppies entering the UK.
