A code of welfare is a set of rules to help keep animals safe. You can find these codes of welfare in places where people can easily get to them. The rules say that codes of welfare must be available for you to see, but this rule is no longer in use as it was repealed on 28 October 2021 by section 3 of the Secondary Legislation Act 2021. This means you cannot use this rule to get a code of welfare now.
