European Parliament
David Martin  (S&D ),
in writing.
I voted for this resolution on pets and stray animals which calls on the Commission to put forward an EU legal framework for the protection of pets and stray animals, including: rules for the identification and registration of animals; stray animal management strategies, including vaccination and sterilisation programmes; measures to promote responsible ownership; the prohibition of unlicensed kennels and shelters; the prohibition of the killing of stray animals without medical indication; information and educational programmes in schools on animal welfare; and severe sanctions to be imposed on any Member State which fails to comply with the rules.
