The government didn't decide, the MPs voted on it. It is a pointless piece which is why I assume it was rejected. You can't suddenly go around killing and harming animals (after leaving the EU), as the other laws already cover it. Animal Welfare Act 2006 only covers domestic animals so for example let's say a fox would be excluded. Who would have thought it eh?
I have prepared one of my own time capsules. I have placed some rather large samples of dynamite, gunpowder and nitroglycerin. My time capsule is set to go off in the year 3000. It will show them what we are really like. |

Section 1 defines an "animal" as a vertebrate (other than a human). Domestic animals get more rights as a "protected animal" i.e. if your dog breaks it's leg, your duty is to get it sorted. If a fox in your back garden breaks it's leg, you don't, but you can't go around killing or being cruel to them. Edited by Stuk (22 Nov 2017 1.38pm)

You crucially missed out the 3rd section of the introduction of the act.

So what does this affect, does anyone know? What possible policy areas could this influence? I'm vegetarian Tory and if this had occurred during a Labour government I'd still want to know what it actually means before commenting.

I'm not sure but it may have been put into place in order to protect the rights of farmers/the dairy industry. As the fewer rights animals have the more power the farmers will have. The writer of the independent article suggested that it may lead to other policies being put through which give greater powers to the government while taking them away from the people.

Fox Hunting easier to legalise again without this recognition Also easier to allow animal testing for all sorts, like cosmetics and pointless crap (i.e. not life saving medicines).
