English: I thank Paul Davies for that series of questions. You started off around the draft Animal Welfare (Sentencing and Recognition of Sentience) Bill, and I made our view very clear in my statement, and I mentioned that we are working with the UK Government, because I think it's really important that we do maintain a comparative sentencing regime across England and Wales. I think that's important so that the enforcement agencies have clarity, the courts have clarity and also the public have that clarity. So, I think it's very important that we do work together with the UK Government in relation to that. You asked me if I will confirm that I'm bringing forward a legislative consent motion, and I do confirm that I will be bringing forward an LCM for those aspects of the Bill that obviously then apply to Wales. I've had discussions around this both with the Secretary of State at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Michael Gove, and also with Lord Gardiner, who's a Minister with responsibility for animal welfare. You talked about third-party sales of puppies, and you'll be aware of the campaign around Lucy's law. I know there's an event here at the Senedd, I think it's next month, that Eluned Morgan is sponsoring and I'll be speaking at it. Certainly, the petition that's associated with the campaign has gained over 100,000 signatures. That was debated in Parliament and I've asked officials to look at the regulations, because they only apply to England. There are specific conditions on dog breeding that are included. There's a requirement that a puppy can only be shown to a prospective purchaser if it's together with its biological mother, and I think that's something that is very worthy of consideration. I know that a call for evidence has recently closed, so we'll be looking at that very carefully. You mentioned the microchipping regulations, which I said I was going to have reviewed. They've been introduced now and been in force for over two years, so I think it is the appropriate time for them to be reviewed, and I think it's time that we also consider whether other animals should be microchipped. Certainly, I've had a lot of representation around cats being microchipped, so I've asked officials to look into that for me. I think the point you raised about sanctuaries was very pertinent, and the definition of an animal welfare establishment, and that will be part of the scrutiny process that we're going to go through. I want to ensure that consideration is given to whether the code would be suitable for use as a statutory document. I think it's important that it has that status. So, again, I'm working with the animal welfare network to support their development of a voluntary code of practice for animal welfare establishments and sanctuaries, and I'll obviously keep Members updated.
Welsh: Diolch i Paul Davies am y gyfres honno o gwestiynau. Fe wnaethoch chi ddechrau â drafft y Bil Lles Anifeiliaid (Dedfrydu a Chydnabyddiaeth o Ddedfryd), ac fe fynegais ein barn yn glir iawn yn fy natganiad, a soniais ein bod yn gweithio gyda Llywodraeth y DU, oherwydd mae'n bwysig iawn bod gennym ni gyfundrefn ddedfrydu gymharol ledled Cymru a Lloegr. Credaf fod hynny'n bwysig fel bod eglurder gan yr asiantaethau gorfodi, bod gan y llysoedd eglurder a hefyd bod gan y cyhoedd yr eglurder hwnnw. Credaf felly, ei bod yn bwysig iawn ein bod yn gweithio gyda Llywodraeth y DU yn hynny o beth. Fe wnaethoch chi ofyn i mi gadarnhau fy mod yn cyflwyno cynnig cydsyniad deddfwriaethol, ac rwyf yn cadarnhau y byddaf yn cyflwyno Cynnig Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol ar gyfer yr agweddau hynny o'r Bil sy'n amlwg wedyn yn berthnasol i Gymru. Rwyf wedi cael trafodaethau ynghylch hyn gyda'r Ysgrifennydd Gwladol yn Adran yr Amgylchedd, Bwyd a Materion Gwledig, Michael Gove, a hefyd gyda'r Arglwydd Gardiner, sydd yn Weinidog â chyfrifoldeb am les anifeiliaid. Fe wnaethoch chi sôn am werthu cŵn bach drwy drydydd parti, a byddwch yn ymwybodol o'r ymgyrch ynghylch cyfraith Lucy. Rwy'n gwybod fod digwyddiad yma yn y Senedd, credaf mai mis nesaf y mae, y mae Eluned Morgan yn ei noddi a byddaf yn siarad yno. Yn sicr, mae dros 100,000 o lofnodion ar y ddeiseb sy'n gysylltiedig â'r ymgyrch. Trafodwyd hynny yn y Senedd ac rwyf wedi gofyn i swyddogion edrych ar y rheoliadau, oherwydd maen nhw ond yn berthnasol i Loegr. Mae amodau penodol wedi eu cynnwys ynglŷn â bridio cŵn. Mae gofyniad na ellir ond dangos ci bach i'r darpar brynwr os yw gyda'i fam fiolegol, ac rwy'n credu bod hynny'n rhywbeth sy'n wirioneddol werth ei ystyried. Rwy'n gwyfod fod ymgyrch casglu tystiolaeth wedi dod i ben yn ddiweddar, felly byddwn yn edrych ar hynny'n ofalus iawn. Fe wnaethoch chi sôn am y rheoliadau microsglodynnu, a ddywedais oedd yn mynd i gael eu hadolygu. Maent wedi cael eu cyflwyno bellach ac wedi bod mewn grym ers dros ddwy flynedd, felly credaf ei bod hi'n adeg briodol iddynt gael eu hadolygu, ac mae'n amser hefyd i ni ystyried a ddylai anifeiliaid eraill gael eu microsglodynnu. Yn sicr, rwyf wedi cael llawer o ohebiaeth o ran cathod yn cael eu microsglodynnu, felly rwyf wedi gofyn i swyddogion edrych ar hynny i mi. Rwy'n credu fod y sylw a wnaethoch chi ynghylch gwarchodfeydd yn berthnasol iawn, a'r diffiniad o sefydliad lles anifeiliaid, a bydd hynny'n rhan o'r broses graffu y byddwn yn mynd drwyddi. Rwyf eisiau sicrhau y rhoddir ystyriaeth i p'un a fyddai'n addas i ddefnyddio'r cod fel dogfen statudol. Credaf ei bod hi'n bwysig bod ganddo'r statws hwnnw. Felly, unwaith eto, rwy'n gweithio gyda'r rhwydwaith lles anifeiliaid i'w cefnogi i ddatblygu cod ymarfer gwirfoddol ar gyfer sefydliadau lles anifeiliaid a gwarchodfeydd, a byddaf yn amlwg yn rhoi'r manylion diweddaraf i aelodau.
