Control of Horses (Wales) Act 2014 (2014 anaw 3)
The Control of Horses (Wales) Act 2014 addresses the issue of fly-grazing and abandoned horses in Wales, granting local authorities the power to seize, impound, sell, or dispose of horses that are on land without lawful authority. It aims to promote the welfare of horses, protect landowners, and ensure public safety. The Act was introduced due to the notable increase in fly-grazing incidents, which posed significant risks to animal welfare and rural communities. Its implementation provides a legal framework enabling effective and swift action to reduce the prevalence of stray and neglected horses.
