I rather think that those of you who were granted a brief audience with “Nanny Mc B” prior to a states meeting during the week will have an awful long wait for an animal rights law to be even given some cursory thought, never mind put into practise.

What on earth gave you to think that this woman, who has arrogantly demonstrated her total lack of care for the vulnerable, due to jobs or age, human beings in our midst, latest being our OAPs, would have any interest whatsoever in animal welfare. Her “no timescale”, in other words, no interest says it all.
