Animal Welfare Act Review Submissions

The Ministry for Primary Industries has now prepared a summary of the submissions that were received and posted this on their website, along with all of the submissions in full. Personal information and contact details have been removed from the submissions to protect individual privacy.

The Ministry is now analysing the submissions and finalising advice for the Minister for Primary Industries and Cabinet.

There is still some way to go before any proposals are made into law. If the Government decides to progress amendments to the Animal Welfare Act, a Bill will be drafted and introduced into Parliament during the first part of 2013. Following a first reading, the Bill would be referred to a select committee which would call for public submissions. If the Government decides to proceed with a New Zealand Animal Welfare Strategy, this is likely to be launched around the same time as the Bill is introduced.

Further information can be found on the Ministry's Website.
