Premier reveals new protections for B.C. pets in wake of animal-abuse cases
VANCOUVER — British Columbia expects to pass legislation next year that will include codes of practice for dog breeders and kennel and cattery operators.
The province will also consult this spring on licensing to operate as a breeder.
Premier Christy Clark announced the changes today in Vancouver, saying the government has already begun consultations with the province’s SPCA and others.
The codes of practice will include rules on housing, ventilation, food and water, care and supervision, and record keeping.
