Signatories
As animal welfare academics, researchers, veterinarians and scientists, we believe that, in accordance with current scientific knowledge, the current legislation is insufficient to protect the welfare of animals. As such, we urge the swift publication of a future-focussed and comprehensive legislative proposal within this political term.
