Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs written question – answered at on 28 January 2026.
Lord Black of Brentwood
Conservative
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have made an assessment of the report by World Animal Protection, Bred to Entertain, published on 12 January, in particular the case for the full implementation of the Animals (Low-Welfare Activities Abroad) Act 2023.
Baroness Hayman of Ullock
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
World Animal Protection has shared its report “Bred to Entertain” with the Government. Defra will consider the information set out in the report carefully as we continue to build the evidence base on which activities would be most suitable for inclusion in any future regulations.
As set out in the animal welfare strategy, published in December 2025, the Government is continuing to engage with stakeholders, including the tourism industry and animal welfare groups, to explore both legislative and non-legislative options to stop the advertising and offering for sale of low-welfare animal activities abroad and will set out next steps in due course.
