Protect animal rights post Brexit – evidence states that animals DO feel pain.
HM Government has started the vote to repeal EU legislation. The Government has decided that animals (other than humans & pets) do not feel pain or emotion. This is against scientific evidence and is a retrograde step for animal welfare and their rights in this country.
