Stop changes to animal welfare reform

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

According to a Guardian article, the government is considering repealing animal welfare codes. Another example of where profits come before welfare of people, animals and the environment. Animal welfare laws are already slack; giving the poultry industry the power to decide the rules is unethical.
