Yeah, maybe the answer is to stop eating meat and just drink protein shakes or some synthetically produced meat (if/when it's available). I eat meat, but it's probably wrong to do so. The general consensus is that animal welfare is important, let's keep improving animal welfare standards and laws.
End the use of cages and crates for all farmed animals debate. Another good debate and I learnt quite a lot from the expertise of the speakers. This is a complex issue. The government minister said the gov is comitted to improving animal welfare and will strive to improve it, via consultation with all stakeholders. Over £20M provided to help 'hen egg' farmers to improve hen welfare. Pig ...
End the use of cages and crates for all farmed animals. Every year in the UK, millions of farmed animals experience huge suffering confined in cages. From millions of laying hens unable to express their natural behaviours to mother pigs nursing their piglets confined in narrow crates, to calves, quail and game birds. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cdp-2025-0121/ ...
Although the debate was well mannered and all contributors spoke with passion, the supporters of non-stun/halal/kosher slaughter did not make any sense, contradicted themselves and each other. Not banning this evil is simply wrong, it has no place in our country. Starmer’s weak government has even let animals down now.
Good debate, but same old government line at the end. The government would like all animals to be stunned before slaughter but also respect religious beliefs. So the government allows the animal cruelty to continue. DISGRACEFUL.

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700557?reveal_response=yes "In modern society, we believe more consideration needs to be given to animal welfare and how livestock is treated and culled. We believe non-stun slaughter is barbaric and doesn't fit in with our culture and modern-day values and should be banned, as some EU nations have done." Parliament will debate this ...
Here's what I've got. Anyway it is irrelevant as the numbers are far too high, number should be zero. ISIS fighters arriving in small boats. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/E-8-2015-015092_EN.html As you can see this article is 10 years old, but governments do nothing. If 100 people arrive in a boat and 1 is a criminal the only safe option is to stop them all. ...

Men of fighting age, ex ISIS fighters, child rapists, murderers. Our governments, Tories and Labour have done nothing to stop the boats. All they do is talk. They have ...
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2720n2kkjo Labour are spending £15B on housing migrants, housing our enemies. But pensioners had their winter fuel allowance stopped at short notice. We can't fix potholes. Got to sell our Royal Marines ships. National insurance increased. Etc. Will there be a country left come the next general election?
