The Animal Welfare (Livestock Exports) Act has been passed into law in the UK, banning live animal exports for slaughter from Great Britain. The Act aims to end the unnecessary and stressful journeys animals endure during exports. Politicians, including Chris Loder, Therese Coffey, and Jane Stevenson, along with organizations like RSPCA and CIWF, have been instrumental in campaigning for this ban for over 50 years.
Delighted that the ban on live exports has received Royal assent πππ This wasn't possible while we were within the EU. Thanks to Wolverhampton NE constituents who write to me about animal welfare issues. I'll continue to champion animals in Parliament πΊπ§‘π€ https://t.co/hqV7PFDOpE
