We also do not hold the information in the format that you have requested and to analyse and provide the data in the format you have requested could only be provided at disproportionate cost if at all.

Lesley Griffiths: Animals kept in captivity are subject to the requirements of the Animal Welfare Act 2006 and particularly the duty of care set out in section 9 of the Act. It is the owner’s responsibility to exercise this duty of care and to be responsible. Where we have had evidence of the need for additional legislation to address poor animal welfare in the trade of animals, for example with dog breeding, we have done so. This Government will continue to work with key stakeholders and enforcement agencies to improve animal welfare in Wales.
