NZ First Vote On Dog Tail Docking

31 August 2004

NZ First Vote On Dog Tail Docking

New Zealand First will vote for the Animal Welfare (Restriction on Docking of Dogs’ Tails) Bill to be sent to a parliamentary select committee for consideration.

The issue was discussed by MPs at Caucus today.

Rt Hon Winston Peters said that a number of groups and individuals had contacted New Zealand First about removing dogs’ tails but the party had not reached a final position.

He said it was important to hear the case for and against the procedure before deciding how to finally vote on the issue.
