The European Parliament today approved new
rules designed to prevent the transmission of animal borne diseases like foot
and mouth disease and avian flu. The new rules should also help crack down on
the illegal trade in pet animals. Under the draft laws the European Commission would
be empowered to make EU countries set up national databases of dogs, cats
and other pets if required. The Sinn Fein MEP Liadh Ni Riada says she’s hoping these
rules will help prevent animal cruelty and illegal puppy farms.
