Animals to be formally recognised as sentient beings in UK law

Wait, the birts need that to be a law? For all the jokes on burger education, I think most of us know that animals are sentient. We don't need a stupid law to tell us that "yes, a cow can think." We still eat them because they taste good.

We are also delighted the government has confirmed it will legislate for a long-overdue ban on live exports for slaughter and fattening.

Imaging prioritizing a ban on the fattening of animals before implementing this ban on your own citizens.

Sea levels can't rise fast enough.
