Provide scientific evidence to support exclusion of animal sentience from UK law
We demand that the government provides evidence from at least five separate and credible scientific studies to support their exclusion of animal sentience from post-Brexit law. The claim that it was covered by the Animal Welfare act 2006 is untrue and unacceptable. Government opinion is not fact.
