BREAKING: Bill to Establish Animal Sentience Committee Introduced
UK Parliament Proposes Act Recognizing Animal Welfare
Key Provisions of the Animal Welfare Sentience Act 2022
A groundbreaking bill has been introduced in the UK Parliament that aims to establish an Animal Sentience Committee to advise the government on the impacts of policies on the welfare of animals.
The Animal Welfare Sentience Act 2022 recognizes that animals are sentient beings capable of experiencing emotions such as pain and pleasure. It establishes a statutory duty on the government to consider the welfare of animals in all policy-making decisions.
The Animal Sentience Committee, if established, would provide expert advice to the government on issues related to animal welfare, including the use of animals in research, agriculture, and entertainment. It would also monitor the government's implementation of the Act and report on its progress to Parliament.
