Rejected petition Vote against the decision that declared that animals don’t feel emotion and pain

On November 20th 2017 MP’s rejected the inclusion of animal sentience - which is the fact that animals feel emotion and pain - into the EU Withdrawal Bill.

This throws all Animal rights and welfare into jeopardy as soon as we are officially scheduled to leave the EU on March 29th 2019.

More details

We must act now in order to stop this senseless decision.

To deny animals sentient status is to leave them vulnerable to exploitation.
