Petition: MPs previously voted that animals cannot feel emotions or pain. It’s our government at it’s most cruel and heartless -- but a massive outcry from the public has overturned this outrage.

Update: 25 November 2017 Victory! The government has now promised to make “any necessary changes” to UK law to recognise animal sentience! Avaaz launched this campaign after widespread reports, including in the Independent and the Metro, said that MPs had voted that animals are not sentient. Since the campaign launched, the government has responded contending the media got it wrong. It says that the vote was not on whether animals were sentient, but instead on whether to recognise animal sentience in UK law, something it has now committed to do. Let's keep up the pressure to make sure it happens -- sign now!
