Your enthusiasm for recognising in law that [some] animals are sentient
is surprising.

I guessed it might be to some.

That was already in law that applied here until very
recently.

And you think that was what it was all about?

And did you think anyone would miss that you asked that only after
snipping the context:

"...the Government would take a significant step forwards on animal
welfare by formally recognising animals as sentient beings through a
new Animal Sentience Bill..."?



Robin, there is more to news (or any coverage / exposure) than the
direct / specific information that may appear to being presented.

Details of the "Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill" can be found he

It is devoid of any helpful information, which suggests it's a PR
exercise. Of course I can be entirely wrong.


As usual with Bills it's worth looking at the explanatory notes for the
bigger picture. In this case it's meeting commitments (including a
manifesto commitment) following Brexit. The vegans in my family were
totally unsurprised by and uninterested in the Bill.
