Closed petition Work with the EU to improve animal welfare standards across Europe
The Government should work with the EU to end animal cruelty and improve animal welfare standards across Europe. In the UK there are numerous charities trying to rehome dogs from Europe. Many of these dogs have been subjected to barbaric cruelty by evil people with no consequence.
More details
Any country that treats animals in this way should not be part of the EU. Try an internet search and see just how heart-breaking these stories are. Some people in these countries lack human kindness.
As part of this work, the Government should engage with the EU to reduce the requirement for them to be rehomed in UK. Many are on the rehoming websites for months if not years and if the laws were looked at and governments held to account, then the problems should reduce.
