The Conservatives must show they are serious about animal welfare in the upcoming King’s Speech

The British public care deeply about animal welfare. This was the case in 2019 when the Conservatives received their largest share of the vote for forty years, and it remains true today. Recent polling commissioned by Conservative Animal Welfare Foundation over the summer found two thirds of voters would feel more positively about a political party if they included a strong commitment to animal protection. In the run up to the next General Election, this is more important than ever.

Conservative Animal Welfare Foundation is disappointed by the statement delivered today by Minister for Farming and Rural Affairs the Rt Hon. Mark Spencer MP which confirmed the Government has made the decision to discontinue the passage of the Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill.
