Pa effaith y bydd Deddf Cipio Anifeiliaid Anwes 2024 Llywodraeth y DU yn ei chael ar Gymru, a pha ystyriaeth y mae'r Llywodraeth wedi'i rhoi i gyflwyno bil tebyg yng Nghymru?

The theft of a pet is distressing and is already a criminal offence under the Theft Act 1968 with a maximum penalty of seven years’ imprisonment. After careful consideration the decision was made to prioritise legislative resources on our ambitious plans for animal welfare in Wales.

While Wales is not included in the Pet Abduction Act 2024 work is ongoing with the other UK governments on improvements to domestic animal welfare such as the Microchipping platform, making it easier to reunite pets with their owners.
