Local MP Kevin Foster spoke in todays debate on an e-petition relating to the Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill.
Kevin highlighted the importance of the Bill and the high level of support that it has received.
Kevin also took the opportunity to raise the key role that zoos play in conservation, calling them ‘a modern day “Noah’s Ark” for many endangered species’. Kevin referred to the important work that Paignton Zoo does here in Torbay.
Kevin is keen to see a range of measures in the bill come into effect, and looks forward to supporting them further in Parliament.
