Default Sad day for animal welfare
Didn't think that brexit was being used to remove rights and protections?...Think again

'MPs have voted to reject the inclusion of animal sentience – the admission that animals feel emotion and pain – into the EU Withdrawal Bill.

The move has been criticised by animal rights activists, who say the vote undermines environment secretary Michael Gove’s pledge to prioritise animal rights during Brexit.

The majority of animal welfare legislation comes from the EU. The UK Government is tasked with adopting EU laws directly after March 2019 but has dismissed animal sentience.'

This will impact in all areas of animal welfare, can people still be convicted of animal cruelty? Could it be used to bring back fox hunting or badger baiting?
Will regulations on animal slaughter be relaxed?

My feeling also is that standards in farming will suffer with more animals kept in smaller spaced and potentially battery fed like chickens.

It's not surprising considering that May wants to bring back Fox Hunting. Disgraceful.

How anyone can deny that animals experience emotions is beyond me.

Badger baiting was banned in this country long before the EU was even formed.

Remember when Nicky asked about vegetarian suggestions and many have thought it's funny to mock the idea?
Then hi.

There are a couple of online petitions for an amendment on this issue that anyone feeling concerned should sign. https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitio...ithdrawal-bill
