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.
