Acknowledge that animals are sentient beings & that they feel pain and suffering

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The recent parliamentary vote declared that animals are not sentient beings and do not feel pain, Most would consider this a disgrace and in-arguably false. They of course feel pain and deserve to be respected and have this acknowledged and considered in Brexit negotiations and there after.
