Dog breeder from Nevele loses recognition: "Dogs died under questionable circumstances"

The Flemish Minister of Animal Welfare, Ben Weyts, has revoked the license of a dog breeder in Nevele due to severe welfare violations. Inspections revealed that dogs lacked access to drinking water, sick animals did not receive necessary veterinary care, and some died under questionable circumstances. Despite multiple warnings and fines, the breeder failed to comply with basic welfare standards. The breeder has been notified and has a few weeks to sell the remaining dogs before the kennel is permanently closed. This marks the 38th license revocation by the minister, emphasizing a strict stance on animal welfare in Flanders.
