Animal Welfare Bill

Proceeding contribution from Bill Wiggin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 November 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Animal Welfare Bill.
Can the Minister clarify whether someone who has been cruel and is disqualified from keeping one species can be disqualified from keeping others? It would be absurd if someone who had been barred from keeping dogs still had other animals in their possession and care. I was particularly worried by the case highlighted in the media over the summer involving a farmer who was put in prison, leaving his herd of cattle to die slowly of starvation. Obviously, cattle are farm animals, but the principle is the same.
