COMPASSION IN WORLD FARMING: UK’S ANIMALS NO LONGER RECOGNISED AS SENTIENT BEINGS – British Goat Society

Dear Editor

As BGS members might already bear in mind, as a part of the EU regulation repeal course of, MPs not too long ago narrowly voted to scrap the EU regulation recognising that animals can suppose, really feel, and endure ache. Scrapping this precept may clear the best way for weaker protections in animal welfare together with in testing labs, farming, slaughter and in relation to animal cruelty usually.

Members might want to contact their native MP in relation to this.

Thank you
