Which says a lot in its self, they draw up a document for countries to sign, but then emend rules and regulations to suit individual countries wants and dislikes.
Not much of a conviction for you is it.
To me it would be another worthless piece of legislation, it wont stop bad breding, for goodness sake look at the docking bill, has it stopped people docking NO!! does it get policed...NO!!! we already have laws for cruelty to animals does it stop,
As Shona said, we know your agenda, you push it home at every opportunity.
You dont like pedigrees (although you own them) you dont like breeders, if you had your way you would have a mis mash of Xbreeds .

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! you dont know, thats a turn up for the books..
What with your convictions, I am surprised you cant recite it word for word
The reading of the web pages on the document, sound good and a few Countries seem to have a good ethos going, but I say it again.... Lock to some of those Countries who have signed......
No thanks, if that is the only way forward, then forget it.
Appalling treatment of animals goes on in some of these places... why would anyone want to be associated and sign their name to something that allows this to go on.
