Notice of Motion Motion 1 To consider a notice of motion proposed by Councillor Vicki Heslop and seconded by Councillor Samantha Deakin, as follows:-
“Across England and Wales each year, swathes of goldfish are sadly left hanging in unsuitable plastic bags at fairgrounds and fetes. Many of them are won by children or their parents, who are unprepared to take on a pet. This sadly means that many goldfish do not receive the right care and attention resulting in neglect.
Giving pets as prizes sadly does not only effect goldfish but other animals as well.
This Council:
· Is concerned about the number of cases reported to the RSPCA each year, regarding pets given as prizes. · Is concerned for the welfare of those animals given as prizes · Recognises many cases of pets being given as prizes may go unreported each year · Supports a move to ban the giving of live animals as prizes, in any form, on Ashfield Council land.
This Council resolves to:
· Ban the outright giving of live animals as prizes, in any form on Ashfield Council land. · Ask the Leader and CEO to write to the Government, urging an outright ban on giving of live animals as prizes on both public and private land as supported by the RSPCA campaign.” |
