Stop the Tories changing animal welfare act!!! All animals are sentient!!!

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

As the Tories have now voted that animals are not sentient it is scarily possible that all animal welfare will be ignored. Meaning that animals will endure pain n suffering for no reason. People will not be prosecuted for acts of cruelty, farms will not be regulated, trading will not be regulated.
The list is endless to the suffering that will occur if this is allowed to happen!!!!
