Rise in puppy smuggling cases prompts new welfare rules
Six puppies, too young to be imported, were seized at the port of Dover after being smuggled from Romania. Covered in sticky oil and suffering from diarrhoea, they had been travelling in a van for 24 hours.
The puppies are thought to have been imported from Ireland to be sold in the UK and were found in a carrier bag and a guinea pig cage. "Raising the minimum import age for puppies will help protect thousands of animals that are brought into the country each year and stop criminals looking to profit from the rise in demand for pets."
