Renfrewshire politicians have debated how to tackle unethical dog breeding and prevent “aggressive canine behaviour” in the chambers.
Councillors Andy Doig and John Hood brought forward a motion on the topic in light of the Prime Minister’s announcement that the American Bully XL will be banned following a spate of recent attacks.
Although the pair gained the support of the Labour and Conservative groups, as well as Councillor Eddie Devine and Liberal-Democrat Councillor Anne Hannigan, the SNP argued the best approach was to “rigorously enforce” the Animal Welfare Regulations 2021 instead – placing the onus on breeders rather than owners.
“The only way you’re going to tackle unethical breeders is to have a regulatory, mandatory structure.He accepted an addition from Labour’s Councillor Kevin Montgomery, which called on the Scottish Government to provide appropriate funding for a licensing scheme.“That’s why we would call on the Scottish Government to bear that in mind because I don’t think it’s something we could pay for from existing budgets.
A total of 21 elected members voted for Councillor Doig’s motion, with 21 voting for Councillors Hughes’ amendment, which saw Provost Lorraine Cameron using the casting vote in favour of the latter.
