Animal Welfare

The Animal Welfare Act 2006 gives councils powers and responsibilities to deal with the welfare of farmed and pet animals. The responsibility for pet animals is shared with the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA). In general, the RSPCA take responsibility for domestic or pet animals.

You can report concerns about the welfare of animals online, to our offices, or to the RSPCA.
