English: Thank you, Presiding Officer. It's a pleasure to move the short debate this evening. I'm just checking to see if John has got his phone on or off for my last contribution. It's a pleasure also to give a minute of my time to Angela Burns and Bethan at the end of my contribution. And to highlight the importance of this debate, we will be having a short video presentation at some point, when the TVs come on. But, first and foremost, let me apologise to Members for keeping them away from their Christmas parties - I know most groups are heading off for their Christmas parties tonight. However, I'm delighted to bring forward this rather timely debate, particularly ahead of the festive period when we so often are reminded of the Dogs Trust's famous slogan that a dog is for life, not just for Christmas. For those of you who are unaware of the Lucy's law campaign, this was inspired by Lucy, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She was a victim of the puppy farming system and used for breeding for many years with no regard for her health or welfare. The driving force behind Lucy's law has been to call for an immediate ban on the sale of puppies by pet shops and other third-party commercial dealers who participate in this trade to make a profit. Third-party sellers are dealers, people who do not breed the dogs and kittens and who operate as middlemen or women between the breeders and the buying public. Lucy's law has been driven by a passionate group of campaigners and has captured the support and attention of people right across the country, including politicians and many high-profile celebrities, such as Ricky Gervais, Brian May and Rachel Riley. As a dog lover - I have two back at home, at the ranch in the Vale of Glamorgan - it is a campaign that has certainly captured my attention, and I'm so pleased to be associated with it, and also to have met Linda Goodman and the C.A.R.I.A.D., Care And Respect Includes All Dogs, group. I'd also like to pay credit to all the volunteers who have been involved in this grass-roots campaign, who have worked so tirelessly in getting this issue on the agenda for so many. Indeed, the success of this campaign is demonstrated in the petition that is before the National Assembly's Petitions Committee, which has secured a very significant number of signatures. Over 9,000 people have put pen to paper so far, and we were of course fortunate to have the C.A.R.I.A.D. launch here at the Senedd back last year. Lucy's law has undoubtedly captured the hearts of so many people across the nation, and this short video for Members provides a little insight into the campaign as we seek to stop kittens and dogs from being used as breeding machines here in Wales.

Welsh: Diolch i chi, Lywydd. Mae'n bleser gennyf gyflwyno'r ddadl fer heno. Rwy'n gwneud yn siŵr i weld a yw ffôn John ymlaen neu wedi'i ddiffodd ar gyfer fy nghyfraniad olaf. Mae'n bleser gennyf hefyd roi munud o fy amser i Angela Burns a Bethan ar ddiwedd fy nghyfraniad. Ac i dynnu sylw at bwysigrwydd y ddadl hon, byddwn yn cael cyflwyniad fideo byr ar ryw bwynt, pan ddaw'r setiau teledu ymlaen. Ond yn gyntaf ac yn bennaf, gadewch imi ymddiheuro i'r Aelodau am eu cadw oddi wrth eu partïon Nadolig - gwn fod y rhan fwyaf o'r grwpiau'n anelu tuag at eu partïon Nadolig heno. Fodd bynnag, rwy'n falch iawn o gyflwyno'r ddadl go amserol hon, yn enwedig cyn cyfnod y Nadolig pan gawn ein hatgoffa mor aml am slogan enwog yr Ymddiriedolaeth Cŵn fod ci am oes, ac nid am y Nadolig yn unig. I'r rhai ohonoch nad ydych yn gwybod am ymgyrch cyfraith Lucy, cafodd hon ei hysbrydoli gan darfgi Siarl o'r enw Lucy. Dioddefodd yn sgil y system ffermio cŵn bach a'i defnyddio ar gyfer bridio am flynyddoedd lawer heb unrhyw ystyriaeth i'w hiechyd na'i lles. Y grym ysgogol sy'n sail i gyfraith Lucy yw'r alwad am waharddiad ar unwaith ar werthu cŵn gan siopau anifeiliaid anwes a gwerthwyr masnachol trydydd parti eraill sy'n cymryd rhan yn y fasnach hon er mwyn gwneud elw. Masnachwyr yw gwerthwyr trydydd parti, pobl nad ydynt yn bridio'r cŵn a'r cathod bach ac sy'n gweithredu fel rhyngfasnachwyr rhwng y bridwyr a'r cyhoedd sy'n prynu. Cafodd cyfraith Lucy ei hysgogi gan grŵp angerddol o ymgyrchwyr ac mae wedi denu cefnogaeth a sylw pobl ar draws y wlad, gan gynnwys gwleidyddion a llawer o enwogion proffil uchel, megis Ricky Gervais, Brian May a Rachel Riley. Fel rhywun sydd wrth fy modd â chŵn - mae gennyf ddau gartref ar y ransh ym Mro Morgannwg - mae'n ymgyrch sy'n bendant wedi dal fy sylw, ac rwyf mor falch o fod yn gysylltiedig â hi, a hefyd o fod wedi cyfarfod â Linda Goodman a grŵp C.A.R.I.A.D., sy'n credu mewn gofal a pharch i bob ci yn ddiwahân. Hoffwn roi clod hefyd i'r holl wirfoddolwyr sydd wedi cymryd rhan yn yr ymgyrch hon ar lawr gwlad, ac sydd wedi gweithio mor ddiflino i sicrhau bod y mater ar yr agenda i gynifer o bobl. Yn wir, mae'r ddeiseb sydd gerbron Pwyllgor Deisebau'r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol yn brawf o lwyddiant yr ymgyrch, ac mae wedi denu nifer sylweddol iawn o lofnodion. Mae dros 9,000 o bobl wedi ei llofnodi hyd yn hyn, ac roeddem yn ffodus wrth gwrs i gael C.A.R.I.A.D. wedi'i lansio yma yn y Senedd y llynedd. Yn ddi-os mae cyfraith Lucy wedi cipio calonnau cymaint o bobl ledled y wlad, ac mae'r fideo byr hwn i'r Aelodau yn rhoi cipolwg ar yr ymgyrch wrth inni fynd ati i geisio atal cathod a chŵn bach rhag cael eu defnyddio fel peiriannau bridio yma yng Nghymru. [ Torri ar draws.] Ar y gair.
