Rejected petition Repeal the EU withdrawal vote that says animals can't feel pain or emotion

Recently, a ridiculous vote by parliament has been made which denies the scientifically proven fact that animals feel pain and emotion. The fact that animals will no longer be recognised, by the government, as beings that can feel pain means that animal rights in the future are in mortal jeopardy.
