UK: world leader in animal
welfare
The UK has always been a leader regarding animal welfare: 1822: Richard
Martin's Act to Prevent the Cruel and Improper Treatment of Cattle was
passed, making this the first Parliamentary legislation for animal welfare in
the world
1824: creation of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
2. Why?
Animal welfare
750, 000, 000 animals and 650, 000 tons of fish are slaughtered each year for food in Britain.
Dairy calves are separated from the cow soon after being born
Even when eggs are “free range”, the male chicks are thrown alive into electronic mincers or instantly gassed to death.
Environmental reasons
Over 200 vegan companies in the UK
