Quaker Concern for Animals (QCA) has responded to the government consultation for its draft Animal Welfare (Sentencing and Recognition of Sentience) Bill, which ended on 31 January. The draft was created following recent public outrage after MPs voted to reject an EU clause which says animals are sentient in domestic law following Brexit.
