View answerI am generally aware of Lindgren law, which is a national measure particular to Sweden relating to the protection of animals and animal welfare. It has no direct legislative relevance to this country. As the Deputy is aware there is a considerable body of national and EU legislation in place in regard to the protection of animals.
