Title: A Dog's Dinner - proposed new rules for UK pet owners View count: 460 Rating: 4.2 (5 ratings) Description: On 4th November 2008, the UK Government's Environment Secretary, Mr. Hilary Benn, proposed new codes of conduct for dog, cat and horse owners. Dog owners whose pets are too thin or too fat, are fed from the table or are walked when it's hot risk being jailed for six months or fined up to £20,000. Don't get me wrong. I am all in favour of those responsible for cruelty to any animal getting their just desserts in court. But honestly, feeding a dog from the table being classed as a crime is plain barking mad! Whilst breaching the three codes will not in itself be a crime, it could prove the deciding factor in whether an individual is found guilty in court of a pet welfare offence. This video is one man's stand against such a proposal and shows my border collie, Jess, having her dinner in the place where I usually have mine.
