Please note the following -

SI 412 of 2023 (Ear-Cropping of Dogs Regulations 2023) came into force on 1 September 2023.

Under the 2013 Animal Health and Welfare Act, ear cropping was already illegal other than where ear tissue is removed by a veterinary practitioner for the purposes of veterinary treatment.

These regulations also prohibit owners or occupiers of land or premises in which shows, competitions, sporting or cultural events are held from having dogs with cropped ears present at such events.
