#2 "Even though the changes are not intended to affect hunting, shooting or fishing, the alliance fears animal rights campaigners could attempt to use them in relation to dogs in hunt kennels, racehorses in stables and pheasants reared for game shoots"

#6 A cynical person might believe that no one under 16 can own pets because youngsters tend to have no money.The bill appears to be another way for English Gov't.to raise funds for social programs by fining people at will for animal cruelty.No jail time,unless you refuse to pay your fine.
