Re: MP's reject animals feel pain.
I suspect more 'stirring' from those who wish to 'remain' by adding as many amendments as they can to the EU withdrawal bill .
We the UK introduced the issue of animals being sentient beings to the EU in the first place and don't need any lessons about it from the EU (teaching grandmother to suck eggs comes to mind) . Some of the member states treat animals appallingly and don't apply the same animal welfare standards and laws that we do.
I am sure whatever is or isn't in the withdrawal bill our high standards of animal welfare will be maintained when we leave the EU.
