How is animal welfare regulated?
Animal welfare in the UK is governed by comprehensive legislation, primarily the Animal Welfare Act 2006. This law places a duty of care on owners to ensure their animals' needs are met, covering areas like suitable environment, diet, and protection from pain. Organisations like the RSPCA also play a key role in enforcement and education.
