I am afraid I do not share your confidence in the rationality or sensibility of the Scottish Parliament on matters like this. They took all views into consideration on the question of tail docking for example and in their wisdom chose to ignore all rational arguments for the exemption of working dogs, as a result there is now a steady stream of spaniels for adult tail amputations.

I rather suspect that on this question, as with others, any rationality will go out the window and political self interest will rule.
