Registration of Animal Rescue Centres
Introduce compulsory registration and inspection of Animal Rescue Centres.
There is currently nothing to stop anyone setting up as a Rescue, some centres are registered charities, some are not. There is nothing to protect animals in poor rescue centres.

Why is this important?
There is currently nothing to stop anyone setting up as a Rescue, some centres are registered charities, some are not. One non-charity centre was raided by the RSPCA and animals were found in appalling conditions. If animals are being Rescued, they shouldn't have to suffer more at the hands of their rescuers than they did before.
