Reconsider, using scientific evidence, that animals cannot feel pain or emotions
An amendment clause to Brexit law to recognise animals as sentient beings has been rejected by the Government. This has gross implications for future animal welfare.
Scientific evidence shows that animals feel pain and emotions. We urge the government to reconsider under current research.
