Labour has failed to implement any of its promised animal welfare policies in its first year in office and also weakened protections for chickens, campaigners have said.

Among the pledges that have not been implemented are banning the sale of animals with cropped ears, prohibiting imports of hunting trophies and banning imports of foie gras. Some relate to the UK as a whole, others to England, Wales and Scotland and the proposed ban on trail hunting just to England and Wales.
