Rejected petition Reverse the vote that all animals have no emotions or feelings, Or can feel pain

As the Government begins to shape the EU (Withdrawal) Bill, it has taken a vote to scrap EU legislation that sees non-human animals as sentient beings. Once we leave the EU in 2019, all animals that aren’t pets will be profitable to exploit.
