The government must treat animals as sentient beings
European law says animals are recognised as sentient beings. The animal welfare act acknowledging their ability to feel pain, suffer and also experience joy. If the law is changed this would be disastrous for the animal welfare act and animals would suffer.
Animals feel pain, they suffer, they experience joy and sadness just like a human does and this is enshrined in European law. Securing this status for animals was a massive step forward for animal welfare in 97. We can not allow anImals to be treated any different because we are leaving the EU. MPs have voted that animals do not feel pain http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/brexit-bill-latest-animal-sentience-cannot-feel-pain-emotion-vote-mps-agree-eu-withdrawal-bill-a8064676.html.
