--------------------------VIDEO NOTES--------------------------
The so-called Animal Sentience Bill currently being debated in the UK House of Lords seeks to establish, for the first time in history, a recognition that animals can feel pain in UK law.
Opposition has been raised to the bill, on the grounds that it may threaten certain institutions, such as angling, hunting, and food production, among other things. Critics of the bill seem not to realise how raising such objections only demonstrates how urgently we need it to be passed into law.
