A proposed ban on electric shock dog training devices in Wales will be re-written to make it a complete ban, says the minister who wants to bring it in.
Rural Affairs Minister Elin Jones said more than half the responses during consultation on the ban were in favour.

This is great news. Lets hope this level of common sense can now filter down to the licensing departments of the local councils.
Well done Wales. Please tackle puppy farms now, with the same sensible attitude.

Shame she can’t be that active with legislating puppy farming in West Wales too.
