Reverse the vote that declares animals are not sentient and cannot feel pain.
The government has recently just taken a vote to take animal sentients out of the eu bill, this is a horrific and backwards decision which would allow animals in farming and animal testing be abused more than they already are. It is not law yet, let's make sure it never is.
"Convergent evidence indicates that non-human animals have the neuroanatomical, neurochemical, and neurophysiological substrates of conscious states along with the capacity to exhibit intentional behaviors. Consequently, the weight of evidence indicates that humans are not unique in possessing the neurological substrates that generate consciousness. Non-human animals, including all mammals and birds, and many other creatures, including octopuses, also possess these neurological substrates."
