|Updated:

A new law which campaigners hope will put an end to puppy and kitten farming in England was presented to Parliament on May 13.

The legislation, known as Lucy’s Law, is set to come into force in April 2020 and will ban pet shops or third party dealers selling young animals, making sure would-be pet owners deal directly with breeders or re-homing centers.
