I believe Boris has already addressed that issue. EU laws ruled on the live meat trade from this country (and others) much of it going to Arab countries. Only in November a ship of 14,000 sheep sank off Romania on it's way to Saudi Arabia. About 150 were rescued and survived.
Boris did say he would stop live meat exports once we left .
The other thing too, was the money EU gave to our farmers to produce what the EU wanted, that in my opinion was nothing more than a slow but deliberate move to eventually take control of land through the back door as they are already doing in some other countries.
One other fact I realised last night is that Denmark's main export is the largest exporter of mink skins in the world . Worth Euro's 0.5 billion . Poland another , breeding foxes and other animals for coats . The way they are kept and killed is horrific.Animal cruelty in Europe is horrendous and they are a long way behind in most of those countries, and nothing is changing. I wonder which countries buy mink pelts ? Also wonder what Denmark will do about their plastic lego in the near future.
