Puppy farms, trail hunting and snare traps are all set to be banned under animal welfare reforms being introduced by the government.
Ministers have today unveiled the government's Animal Welfare Strategy, which also takes aim at other measures seen as cruel, such as shock collars, as well as cages and crates for farm animals.
But while proposals to improve animals' lives have been welcomed, Labour have been accused of acting like "authoritarian control freaks" for plans to ban trail hunting.

Two men have been jailed for raping a teenage girl in Rotherham more than two decades ago.
Kessur Ajaib, 44, received eight-and-a-half years for one count of rape and one count of indecent assault. Mohammed Makhmood, 43, got a seven-year sentence for one count of rape.
Their convictions relate to the same victim, who was aged between 14 to 16 at the time.
Sheffield Crown Court heard in July that after Makhmood raped the girl, he called her demeaning names, spat at her and laughed at her.

The police are happy to turn a blind eye to Pakistani Muslims raping white girls, but when a Palestinian doctor makes a social media post about Jewish power it is time for a dawn raid.
