The Welsh Government has agreed to be included in the Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill which, along with other animal welfare related improvements, proposes to amend the Zoo Licensing Act 1981 to increase penalties for non-compliance and provide Local Authorities with better tools for enforcement to ensure zoo operators comply with our Standards of Modern Zoo Practice.

 

The Bill also seeks to amend the Zoo Licensing Act 1981 to enable the Welsh Ministers to specify the standards for the conservation requirements that zoos must comply with. This will provide the means to ensure that zoos adopt strengthened conservation requirements and these requirements can be updated more often.

 

A Legislative Consent Memorandum was laid before Senedd Cymru on 22 June 2021 in relation to the Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill.
