Bill was voted out by the House of Keys in April
Animal welfare legislation needs updating so that intervention is possible before cruelty occurs.
That's the view of the ManxSPCA almost two months after the proposed Animal Welfare Bill failed to get a second reading in the House of Keys.
The aim of the bill had been to protect companion animals - such as cats, dogs and horses - from harm and mistreatment.
General manager Juana Warburton says updating the law remains a priority:
Murder Trial: Jury retires to consider its verdict
16-year-old standing trial accused of murder
More sailings cancelled due to poor weather forecast
Friday morning's Heysham crossings called off
Ten local authorities looking for candidates to stand in by-elections
