Recently Conservative Party leadership contender Liz Truss tweeted, “We need to prove to people who voted for us in 2019 that we can deliver what we promised in our Conservative Manifesto.” This is welcome. In fact, both Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak have repeatedly declared they will honour the 2019 Manifesto.
Over the last four decades, the Conservative Party has time and again led the way in advancing animal welfare. The last two years of Conservative government have been no exception and we hope that Rishi Sunak or Liz Truss will continue this important agenda.

MP’s mailbags show that animal welfare is one of the public’s top priorities. In the remaining stages of the leadership contest, it is important that the current animal welfare reforms continue under a new Prime Minister.
