Three Years On, A Good Day For Animal Welfare Legislation

Good news for the animals in Singapore tomorrow! One huge step forward in the animal welfare movement.

Thank you so much for all your feedback, suggestions and comments over the past three years. You have helped to shape animal welfare policies in Singapore and the animals thank you.

A big thank you to Minister Shanmugam and the Animal Welfare Legislation Review Committee too!



Glad to see that new legislation strengthening animal welfare will be introduced in Parliament on Monday.

The proposed law includes the proposals made by the Animal Welfare Legislation Review Committee in 2013. Many of these proposals were first discussed at the Chong Pang Animal Welfare Forum in 2011 and 2012. I asked Louis Ng of Acres, to prepare a Paper, ( based on the forum discussions), to send to the respective agencies. The Paper was prepared and sent and a Committee was set up by the Government to study the proposals and make recommendations.

A good day for those who believe that we need to strengthen animal welfare legislation in Singapore.
