lpv:translated text	"The EU’s pet population is estimated at over 100 million, many of which are victims of mistreatment and cruelty in many Member States. Not only is there no legal framework for the protection of these animals, but the European Convention for the Protection of Pet Animals has not yet been signed by many Member States. As such, and in view of the large numbers of petitions submitted, particularly in countries of southern and eastern Europe, the intention is for the EU and the Member States to ratify the convention. We therefore call on the Commission to put forward a legal framework to protect these animals, including rules for identifying and registering animals, stray animal-management strategies, measures to promote responsible ownership, prohibition of unlicensed kennels and shelters, prohibition of the killing of stray animals without medical indication, information and educational programmes in schools, and severe sanctions to be imposed on any Member State which fails to comply with the rules. I voted in favour."@en1
