Re: MP's reject animals feel pain.
Having read further into this bill.
I've just posted this on the other thread 'Wicked' so to repeat :
As it happens the the EU protocol on animals being sentient beings allows bullfighting, veal farming, foie gras ‘production’, live exports for slaughter and cruel fur product imports. British animal welfare laws are the highest globally and on Brexit we’ll be free to strengthen them further still.
Plus EU are happy with halal without stunning..
So it could be a good thing ultimately ,as we can write our own rules and as many farmers want to opt out of live exports, where the animals are shunted from one country to another and often end up in halal abattoirs in countries where there are no animals rights, this is likely to be a godsend.
The fact that no one has concluded that animals don't have feelings, that is not what the vote was on, just shit raked and magnified by the media.
Every year, 30,000 'meat' horses leave Poland for the slaughterhouses of Italy. There is no rest, no water and no food for many on the road to misery - The same goes on all over Europe.
