Wicked

The government have pushed through a law to allow animals,other than pets, to be experimented on/killed without being given anything to prevent any pain they may feel,as 'animals do not feel any pain'.This scraps the European law which states animals must be sedated/stunned before any thing is done to them. I bet a lot of fat cat politicians with interests in the meat trade/drug experiments pushed their votes through.What happens next,a return to fox hunting ?

Re: Wicked

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.

Re: Wicked

Is this what we should be happy with. Exported EU animals subject to abuse. There's a lot worse if you wish me to post the images. Quite frankly it might just put you off your dinner.


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
