Rejected petition Repeal the recent vote to deny animal sentience in post Brexit Britain
Rejected on
The British Government has voted against the transfer of the clause within Article 13 of Title II of the Lisbon Treaty, which recognises 'animal sentience', into domestic law in post Brexit Britain.
Meaning animals will no longer be recognised as feeling pain, or being aware of their surroundings.
