HYPOCRISY - UK Government to protect shellfish from pain, while killing 600 babies per day
In December, the UK government announced proposals to ban certain methods used to kill shellfish, claiming concerns about animal suffering. The measures are part of a broader animal-welfare agenda being advanced by the Labour Party.
The proposed protections go far beyond lobsters and crabs. Shrimp, prawns, squid, and octopus would also be covered, following their formal recognition in 2022 as sentient creatures capable of feeling pain.
At the same time, more than 600 unborn babies are KILLED EVERY DAY in the UK.
The contrast is stark. The government recognises the suffering of shellfish and is acting to prevent it, while continuing to deny even basic protections to unborn babies. HYPOCRISY!!!
