New UK law:

forwards on animal welfare by formally recognising animals as
sentient beings through a new Animal Sentience Bill that will be
introduced to Parliament tomorrow (13 May), putting animal welfare at
the very heart of government policy decision making."

If animals are to be recognised as sentient beings, shouldn't that
mean everyone must become vegetarian?


Only if there's a law against eating sentient beings. I don't think
there's even a law against eating humans, thought there might be one
against improper use of a human body. (I'm not sure how that works;
don't some hippy types fry up their children's afterbirths and eat them?)


Yup and the same people that do not want us to eat meat are in favor of
abortion.


otoh you have some of the people who are dead set against abortion but
lose all interest when the baby takes its first breath.
