Mr Tan said failure to meet minimum standards in the Code of Animal Welfare may be used as evidence for enforcement action. “Upon conviction for an animal welfare offence, the court may also issue a disqualification order to an individual to disqualify them from owning an animal or running an animal-related business for up to 12 …
