The Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill was a proposed act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom relating to animal welfare and the export of certain animals. The bill was sponsored by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. The bill would have specifically prohibited the export of animals for slaughter or fattening for future slaughter.[1]
The government promised that the bill would create "the world's strongest" protections for kept animals and livestock.[2]
Other provisions included outlawing the import of dogs with "cropped" ears.[3][4]
