Electric shock dog collars banned under new government proposal
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds said the UK was a nation of animal lovers and claimed the government is delivering the most ambitious animal welfare strategy in a generation. Visiting Battersea Dogs and Cats Home reminded me that millions of families welcome pets into their homes every year. Our strategy will raise welfare standards for animals in the home, on the farm and in the wild. We've already acted to improve zoo standards, end puppy smuggling and protect livestock from dog attacks."
A government animal welfare strategy proposes bans on electric shock collars, trail hunting, caged hens and cruel snares, alongside measures to curb low-welfare dog breeding and puppy farming. The proposals build on recent law changes that crack down on puppy smuggling and impose larger penalties for worrying livestock, and include actions to improve zoo standards and protect livestock from dog attacks. Donations fund on-the-ground reporting across topics, support reporting without paywalls, and enable journalists to provide coverage for audiences across the political spectrum.
