In June, I launched a public consultation on a ban of third party sales of puppies and kittens in Wales which closed on 17 August 2020\.  We sought views and evidence for the proposal to ban of commercial third party sales of puppies and kittens in Wales. 


A summary of responses will be published today (5 October) together with the summary from the consultation with children and young people undertaken on our behalf by Children in Wales and with the support of third sector organisations in Wales.


The ongoing concern is the commercial third party sales of puppies and kittens may be associated with poorer welfare conditions for the animals compared with direct purchase from the breeder.  For example, the introduction to several new and unfamiliar environments, and the increased likelihood of multiple journeys for such puppies and kittens have the potential to contribute to an increased risk of disease, and lack of socialisation and habituation. 


226 responses were received to the full consultation and **98% of respondents would like to see the end of third party sales for puppies and kittens in Wales**. 


I would also like to thank Children in Wales who hosted our Children and Young People consultation which received 59 responses from children all across Wales.  **96% of the respondents agreed with a ban on commercial third party sales of puppies and kittens in Wales.** 


I would encourage you to read the views of the children and young people who took the time, during this unprecedented period, to respond to this animal welfare issue.  I am immensely proud future animal owners in Wales have such awareness and sense of responsibility.  Animal welfare was a consistent theme throughout the responses recorded, with a strong view that the welfare of puppies and kittens should be protected.


I can confirm that a ban on commercial third party sales will be introduced by the end of this Senedd.

Ym mis Mehefin, lansiais ymgynghoriad cyhoeddus ar waharadd gwerthu cŵn a chathod bach gan drydydd parti yng Nghymru, ddaeth i ben ar 17 Awst 2020\.  Ceisiwyd barn a thystiolaeth ar gyfer y cynnig i wahardd gwerthu cŵn a chathod bach yng Nghymru. 


Caiff crynodeb o ymatebion eu cyhoeddi heddiw (5 Hydref) yn ogystal â chrynodeb o’r ymgynghoriad gyda plant a phobl ifanc a gynhaliwyd ar ein rhan gan Plant yng Nghymru, a gyda chefnogaeth sefydliadau y trydydd sector yng Nghymru. 


Y pryder parhaus yw y gallai’r gwerthiant masnachol o gŵn a cathod bach fod yn gysylltiedig â safonau lles is i’r anifeiliaid o gymharu â phrynu’n uniongyrchol gan y bridiwr.  Er enghraifft, gallai gorfod eu cyflwyno i nifer o amgylcheddau newydd ac anghyfarwydd, a’r ffaith ei fod yn fwy tebygol i gŵn a chathod bach o’r fath orfod gwneud nifer o siwrneau, gyfrannu at fwy o berygl o glefydau, a diffyg cymdeithasu ac ymgyfarwyddo.    


Cafwyd 226 o ymatebion i’r ymgynghoriad llawn a byddai **98% o ymatebywr yn hoffi gweld diwedd ar werthu cŵn a chathod bach gan drydydd parti yng Nghymru.** 


Hoffwn ddiolch i Plant yng Nghymru hefyd a gynhaliodd ein hymgynghoriad Plant a Phobl Ifanc a dderbyniodd 59 o ymatebion gan blant ledled Cymru.   **Roedd** **96% o’r ymatebwyr yn cytuno gyda gwahardd gwerthu cŵn a chathod bach yn fasnachol gan drydydd parti yng Nghymru.**


Hoffwn eich annog i ddarllen safbwytniau plant a phobl ifanc a dreuliodd amser, yn ystod y cyfnod digynsail hwn, i ymateb i’r mater hwn o les anifeiliaid.  Rwyf yn hynod falch bod gan berchnogion anifeiliaid yng Nghymru gymaint o ymwybyddiaeth a theimlad o gyfrifoldeb.  Roedd lles anifeiliaid hefyd yn thema gyson drwy’r ymatebion a gofnodwyd, gyda barn gref y dylid gwarchod lles cŵn a chathod bach.


Gallaf gadarnahu y bydd gwaharddiad ar werthiant masnachol gan drydydd parti yn cael ei gyflwyno erbyn diwedd y Senedd hon.
