Animal Welfare (Sentencing) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Mark Tami (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 23 October 2020. It occurred during Debate on bills on Animal Welfare (Sentencing) Bill.

The hon. Gentleman makes an important point about racehorses. I am one of the few in the House who has spoken about greyhound welfare. There is an onus on the owners of racehorses or greyhounds, who often make a lot of money out of them. They owe them a duty of care after they cease to earn money for them. There is a big difference between the number of greyhounds racing and the number who are rehomed when they finish. There is a big question there.
