Pembrokeshire County Council has reportedly approved a One Planet Development near Jeffreyston which includes breeding guinea pigs to be killed and eaten.

Across Wales and the rest of the UK, guinea pigs are cared for, named, loved and grieved when they die. They should not be approved as a meat source under a planning scheme.

The council should reject the use of guinea pigs in this proposal immediately and make clear this will not be allowed to continue.

The Welsh Government should also ban the breeding, killing, sale and consumption of guinea pigs for food in Wales.
