The RSPCA welcomed the Bill but said it would continue to campaign for
stricter protection. "This would be the single most important piece of
welfare legislation affecting animals since 1911," a spokesman said.

The fight against it has already begun.

Interesting stuff and shows why we should not subject animals to
captivity anyway.

Anyone owning a pet, farm or exotic animal would have a statutory duty
of care towards it and could have it taken away.

So if I illtreat the slugs I "own", a government inspector will come
along and remove them. Sounds good to me. Just off to the police
station to confess.

They could also be
banned from looking after another.

Excellent. How soon does this legislation come into force?

I'm assisting the local cafe by taking their used coffee grounds to use on
the garden. Apparently the caffeine is lethal for slugs and snails.

The only downside is that it uses a lot of coffee grounds.. a reasonable
sized coffee bar produces 10-20 litres of coffee grounds a day. This covers
about 3-5 square metres of ground.

Seems to work fine on my lettuces.. and not a slug pellet in sight.
