The UK Government scraps protection for hens, game birds, pigs, cows, sheep and circus animals. Millions of hens will have their beaks mutilated; game birds will remain in cages; pigs, sheep and cows in abattoirs will lose crucial protection from abuse; badgers will be culled and lions, tigers and other wild animals will continue to perform in the big top.
In a series of little-noticed moves, the Coalition has scrapped or stalled Labour initiatives to improve animal welfare some weeks before they were due to come into force.
http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/nature/the-great-animal-rights-betrayal-2132827.html We, worldwide Animal Rights Activists, are gravely concerned regarding the very disturbing action of delaying or denying critically important moves to help animals. Indeed, millions of hens will have their beaks mutilated; game birds will remain in cages; pigs, sheep and cows in abattoirs will lose crucial protection from abuse; badgers will be culled; and lions, tigers and other wild animals will continue to perform in the big top. We are therefore respectfully requesting that the UK Government implement measures to illegalize these practices.This blatant demonstration of brutality has substantiated a cruel and dangerous lesson: when you expose people to such violence towards animals, you are indeed maintaining the position that ours is a world of suffering and brutality, desensitizing humans to animal cruelty, which inevitably leads to crimes against humans.
It is impossible to contemplate supporting any country, via tourism or commerce, that excuses such blatant animal cruelty; the global community will not defend this maliciousness!
