Reforms will improve welfare for companion animals by reforming dog breeding to improve health and end puppy farming, consulting on a ban of electric shock collars, considering new licences for domestic rescue and rehoming organisations, and promoting responsible dog ownership to protect public safety. Farmed-animal measures will move away from confinement systems such as colony cages and pig farrowing crates, address welfare concerns with carbon dioxide stunning of pigs, introduce humane slaughter requirements for farmed fish, and promote slow-growing meat chicken breeds. Wild-animal protections will ban trail hunting and snare traps and introduce a close season for hares.
