lpv:spoken text	"I support this report on the establishment of an EU legal framework for the protection of pets and stray animals. There is currently no EU legislation for the protection of pets and stray animals, yet the EU’s pet population is estimated at over one hundred million. Pets and stray animals fall victim to incredible cruelty and mistreatment. The European Union and Member States must ratify the European Convention for the Protection of Pet Animals so as more can be done to better animal welfare. There need to be increased management strategies for stray animals, including both vaccination and sterilisation along with informative and educational programmes in schools regarding the welfare of animals. We need to do more to promote responsible ownership of animals. This can be achieved through more stringent rules regarding the identification and registration of animals and through the prohibition of unlicensed kennels and shelters. We must also prohibit the killing of stray animals without medical indication. Therefore, I welcome the establishment of an EU legal framework for the protection of pets and stray animals."@en1
