Data from聽趣夜app鈥檚 Voice of the Veterinary Profession聽survey revealed that聽1 in 5聽UK small animal vets had聽seen puppies they believe to have been imported illegally into the country in the last year.听French bulldog puppies were by far the most common breed vets reported concerns about, with just under half (48%) of vets who had seen suspicious puppies referring to this breed.鈥�聽

鈥淓very day,聽vets in practice聽see the devastating consequences of聽puppy smuggling and聽the聽loopholes聽that allow聽illegal聽and brutal聽mutilations聽like ear cropping聽and tail docking聽to continue.听After years of tireless campaigning by the 趣夜app,聽the wide-ranging measures in this聽new聽legislation will聽finally聽stop criminal gangs from abusing pet travel rules for profit聽as well as聽tackle rising cases of聽imported聽diseases,聽such as聽叠谤耻肠别濒濒补听肠补苍颈蝉,聽which are聽not聽currently聽endemic to the UK聽and which聽can be passed from聽pets to聽people.鈥澛犅�

Danny Chambers,聽vet聽and聽MP for Winchester聽who聽introduced聽the聽Bill,聽said:鈥�聽

鈥淎s a vet,聽I've聽treated many dogs with cruelly cropped ears or docked tails, leaving them physically scarred and emotionally traumatised. Knowing this Bill will help us put a stop to this abuse and have a bigger impact on animal welfare than I could聽possibly have聽achieved in a lifetime treating individual animals,聽demonstrates聽how important this legislation will prove to be. Thanks to the support of organisations like the 趣夜app and other animal welfare nonprofits, we got the Animal Welfare Bill through the Commons, through the Lords, and today passed into law."聽
