New Animal News Video Coming

I finally finished compiling my newest animal news recap and I'm about ready to film the latest episode. This would be the seventh episode thus far and we've got big topics to discuss. Here's what you can expect from my newest video!

1. MP's in UK voted that animals are not sentient beings post Brexit - In an unfortunate turn of events, MP's in the U.K. have voted 313 to 295 that animals are not sentient beings. Despite science repeatedly proving that animals are aware and feel emotions much like we do, this move negates years of work from animal advocacy groups. Ultimately, denying animals are sentient and dropping their protections will inevitably lead to more cruelty. I say this repeatedly, but the government will always be an animal advocates biggest hurdle. They continue to work against animal rights despite the fact that citizens are becoming more aware. 
2. President Trump & the elephants - Trump's administration set the wheels into motion to remove a ban on bringing back elephant trophies from two African countries this past week. The President halted this until more information on conservation was acquired and he has since called elephant hunting a "horror show". Does this mean we can expect Trump to maintain the ban? 
3. Canada's very first conviction of animal cruelty on a fur farm - The owner of a fur farm east of Montreal was convicted of multiple cases of animal cruelty after an investigation took place. There were dogs seized, foxes euthanized that were in extremely poor condition, and minks crammed into cages with infections from the ammonia in their urine. With this conviction comes the question, why are fur farms even still operating? Canada has a very poor track record with animal rights and this is a damned good opportunity to join Poland in banning fur farming entirely. It's literally an industry built upon exploitation and cruelty and frankly, has no place in today's society.
