Introduce VAT on meat products and stop subsiding animal agriculture

Closed 77 signatures

What the petition asks

Stop the millions spent on environmentally harmful farming subsidising. Then introduce a value added tax to all animal products.
To help stop the catastrophic effects of the climate crisis, we need to drastically reduce our intake of animal products. Introducing a tax and stopping subsidies would make alternative products more price competitive and pressure already existing brands to move towards a more environmentally sustainable business model.
