[quote]The government has abandoned a controversial plan to repeal animal welfare codes.
The plan would have put standards into the hands of the livestock industry.
Animal welfare groups - including the RSPCA and Compassion in World Farming - were concerned this could lead to a lowering of welfare standards. But others said the rules needed to be changed to reflect advances in science.
The government said it had reconsidered the move "in light of views raised".
It said the current statutory system would stay in place, but that it would "continue to work with industry" to improve the animal welfare code system.[/quote]
First the Psychoactive Substances Act and now this? Conservative government seems awfully sensitive of blacklash at the moment?
Good.
Good. Fuck the meat industry. It's a fucking shit-show.
We should give animals VR headsets so they will think they are free range. The meat will probably taste better.
Good.
