Hi

Off the topic of farming – but even so, it did come as a surprise to me, and makes you ask yourself is NO one body, independent anymore. They ALL scratch each others back, if this goes on in the domestic animal section – then who's bed are they sharing in the livestock world.

I wrote to BVA on Friday relating to puppy farming. I asked for their views on several aspects, but mainly on the welfare side.

They wrote back saying 'they could not comment as an individual organisation (why not) but pointed me in the direction of the Dog Legislation Advisory Group of which the BVA is a member – the address – the kennel club. Personally I find this worrying, as I no not see the kennel club and the BVA as natural partners (well I didn't)..
