PROMOTING THE WELFARE OF PETS

Early day motion 2424, tabled 5 November 2008 by Bob Spink (UKIP). Signed by 21 members.

That this House congratulates the creators of a new and free internet site ThePet.net; and particularly veterinary surgeon Marc Abraham and online media expert Andrew Seel; notes that the site allows pet owners to find pet-friendly hotels, pubs, pet-shops and other services, to rate and comment on these services so pet owners generally can make informed choices, and to book these services online where possible; believes that this will increase public understanding of pets, promote more and better pet-friendly services and enable people to obtain more enjoyment from their pets and to care for them better, improving animal welfare and showcasing pet-friendly businesses; and calls on the Government to promote more such entirely free and philanthropic websites.
