Barber says it doesn't need to 'reinvent' wheel
Stronger sentences are needed for people on the Isle of Man who are guilty of mistreating animals.

Earlier this year a draft bill - designed to overhaul existing legislation - was thrown out of the House of Keys after complaints that it wasn't fit for purpose.
Clare Barber says the new administration must now take action – and quickly:
