I request that you put the question of sentience to the people via referendum.
The recent Commons vote on the question of the 'sentience' of animals Baffles me. It is plain that Animals have feelings. The result of the vote was based on Religion and Money, rather than logic or compassion. Ask the people their opinion.
I believe that the question of Religious Slaughter was behind this vote and doubt the sincerity of the decision in this case. Are we to assume that if an animal is not sentient that a person can no longer be prosecuted for animal cruelty. It would be hard to be cruel to an animal If it had no natural feelings.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
