To ask you to sign this petition if you care about animal welfare

[Schmoana]

It is being reported in the Observer that a recent government letter states that the UK govt has “no policy position on animal welfare” in its trade talks with the US, which opens the door to the import of low welfare meat. It also allows our farmers who currently have higher welfare standards to be undercut (if they don’t lower environmental and welfare standards to be able to compete).

We should be improving animal welfare and environmental standards, not going backwards!

Oops didn’t mean to leave voting on!

Already signed it and the NFU one but bumping for you

Thanks bubbles, do you have a link to the NFU one?

Hi OP, I'm afraid petitions aren't allowed on the main boards; there's a specific board for them.

Signed

Ah, didn’t realise that.

Well if no one reports it, it'll be fine. There is more traffic here.

Signed op.

It's one of my main worries about brexit, us animal welfare standards are appalling. Plus I read they are also against origin labels on products for fear people will avoid US products for these reasons.

Thanks pickwick

Here is the NFU one which is huge. Please sign both!

Hi folks,

Thanks everyone for signing, keep’m comin’!

Signed. The US food standards sound utterly grim.

Lots of ministers worried about this. It’s not what we were promised

Where is Farage and his ilk now one wonders?
