Animal
Welfare
Act As
from
6
April 2007 the Animal Welfare Act 2006
comes in to force and overhauls the pet abuse laws in England and Wales for the first time in 94 years. It will brings in tougher penalties for neglect and cruelty including fines of up to £20,000, a maximum jail term of 51 weeks and a lifetime ban on some owners keeping pets. The new legislation introduces a welfare offence for the first time and enforcers such as the RSPCA will be given more powers to intervene where they suspect a pet is being neglected. The new welfare offence is a 'duty of care' on pet owners to provide for their animals basic needs such as adequate food and water, veterinary treatment and an appropriate environment in which to live. RSPCA Inspectors will now be able to act more readily in cases of neglect, mistreatment and cruelty. RSPCA National Cruelty Helpline: 0300 1234 999
