The ADN Madeira party has put forward a proposal for a proportional licensing system aimed at so-called "informal" animal breeders.
The goal is to establish rules that fit the reality of these breeders, who often operate on a small scale without significant profit motives but currently face challenges with existing legislation. The initiative seeks to balance the need for animal welfare and control with feasibility for breeders.
The proposal arises from concerns raised by citizens involved in amateur or semi-professional animal breeding who feel overwhelmed by the bureaucratic and financial demands applicable to large-scale commercial breeders.
