DOG TRAINING DEVICES

Early day motion 404, tabled 28 October 2014 by Alan Meale (Labour). Signed by 27 members.

That this House notes recent publicity regarding dog training devices which either pinch animals' collars or inflict electronic shock upon them; is aware that all the major animal welfare charities and training organisations are now calling for the sale and use of such devices to be prohibited, a view shared by the National Assembly for Wales; and calls on the Government to immediately extend the ban throughout the rest of the UK.

Signatures by party: Labour 13, Liberal Democrat 4, DUP 3, Independent 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Alliance 1, Conservative 1, Green 1.
