The tide is turning on animal rights! In yet another victory, England just
banned boiling lobsters alive!
As it stands, however, the new animal welfare package only applies to England, not the entire United Kingdom.
This means that lobsters in Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland will still face painful, agonizing deaths.Sign now to tell the Parliament of the United Kingdom: apply this animal welfare policy to the entirety of the United Kingdom, not just England!For years, experts and animal rights activists have worked tirelessly to get legislators to understand:
crustaceans feel pain, and boiling them alive is literally a form of torture. That's exactly why the practice is already outlawed in Norway, New Zealand, and Switzerland.
This ban is long overdue, but a welcome change in England, where animal welfare is being taken more seriously. In fact, the new package isn't limited to lobster welfare alone.
Puppy farming will now be banned, as well as hen cages and pig farrowing crates, too! These are essential changes to protect innocent animals across the country.
And it's time they be applied to the whole UK, not just England.People around the world support protecting animals and preventing their suffering, not just English voters.
The Parliament of the United Kingdom must follow suit and implement a similar ban to protect lobsters from needless suffering! Sign the petition now if you agree!
