New law will help stop evil trade

Cruel puppy smugglers facing ban

KITTENS and puppies under six months old will no longer be wrenched from their mothers overseas to be smuggled here under a law that moved a step closer yesterday.

A private member's bill from Lib Dem MP Dr Danny Chambers, who is also a vet, was given the nod in the Commons and backed by the Government.

It also bans the import of heavily pregnant dogs and cats and those with mutilations such as cropped ears or docked tails.
