The Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Act|||Hello,





The Pet Animals Act 1951:





This act requires any person keeping a pet shop to be licensed by the local authority. Before this is granted the local authority inspect the shop and must be satisfied that the animals are kept in suitable conditions (have clean accommodation, food, water etc).








The Animal Welfare Act 2006





This act protects the welfare of animals (obviously). It states animals must have suitable accommodation, diet, be able to display normal behaviours, and to be protected from pain, injury, suffering and disease.


The law also increases to 16 the minimum age at which a person can buy an animal.


Anyone who is cruel to an animal, or does not provide for its welfare needs, may be banned from owning animals, fined up to 拢20,000 and/or sent to prison.








Hope this helps and good luck with your studies :)
