It's jumping for joy following the announcement that the Animal Welfare Act 1999 is to be reviewed by the Government.
The parliamentary Regulations Review Committee has told the Government to conduct a prompt review of the process for developing secondary legislation under the act, and whether all secondary legislation, particularly codes of welfare, are consistent with the intentions of the act.
A review of the act is not something too many people would oppose.
But banning winter grazing? We say wishful thinking on the part of SAFE.
