Rejected petition Challenge the MPs vote to reject the inclusion of animal sentience

The MPs have voted that animals can’t feel pain or emotions. The current law protects pets, but not other animals.

If I went to a farm those animals apparently can’t feel anything. If those animals were my pets, magically they can now feel those emotions.

This is wrong. All animals can feel.
