Rejected petition Include the clause stating animals are sentient into the EU withdrawal bill.

Recently MPs have voted to reject the inclusion of a clause that states animals can feel emotion and pain into the EU withdrawal bill. This is disgusting and allows farms, labs and animal centres to treat animals that aren’t classified as pets however they please.

More details

Ask any respected scientist and they will tell you animals of all kinds DO feel pain and experience emotion - much like and in some case more so than humans. A report from the US describes just such relating to test animals here :- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK32655/
