The United Kingdom is considering a ban on the export of live animals as it continues to focus on animal rights post brexit. Environmental secretary Michael Grove, is asking for evidence to be submitted from industry experts in regards to live exports and the emotional and mental stress it causes to animals that are transported live. Michael Grove is insistent on continuing to improve animal rights and make the United Kingdom the world leader in animal welfare. Before we get too excited, this is the same leadership that have supported bringing back fox hunting and the culling of badgers across the U.K.. Is this an opportunity to save face or a desire to work on a promise of better animal welfare in the U.K post brexit, we'll have to see how this all pans out. WHILE THE U.K CONTINUES TO MAKE HEADLINES FOR THEIR EFFORTS TO IMPROVE ANIMAL WELFARE STANDARDS, CANADA CONTINUES TO SHOW AN ABSOLUTE LACK OF INTEREST IN ANIMAL RIGHTS WHATSOEVER. As an animal rights activist, I applaud any country that wants to improve animal welfare standards. As a Canadian, I want to see Canada start improving our animal welfare standards. Canada is sorely lacking in the animal protections department and we continue to be involved in several disgusting and abhorrent practices that completely work against a compassionate mindset.
Despite overwhelming support for a ban on fur farming, Canada continues to support the fur industry. Despite overwhelming support to end the needless slaughter of baby seals every year, Canada continues to support this cruelty. Why do animals not matter to our fine country? We continue to be at the forefront of human rights, portraying ourselves as welcoming, compassionate, and friendly, yet we turn a blind eye to the suffering of millions of animals living on our land. I think what boils my blood the most is the fact that bestiality is still considered legal here under the right pretenses. We have countries that have banned fur farming, banned circus performing animals, and so on, and here we are allowing oral sex and genital touching with animals!! Why won't Canada step up for animals? Are we truly supportive of such atrocities or does our Government deny that animals are of importance? Once again, it's great news to hear that the U.K. has pledged better welfare standards for animals, but at the same time it makes me ashamed of my country. Canada has a long way to go when it comes to animal welfare which means that I will continue to shine a light on the welfare of animals in our country. I am determined to see the end of fur farming, the end of the seal slaughter, and the end of bestiality allowance in Canada! By hook or crook, these things will change and I'm going to work my arse off to make sure of it! Check out the story on the U.K. at the top of the page and let me know what you think! HAPPY VEG
