Animal Aid

The ‘Key Policies’ set out in Animals Count’s manifesto are:

• Eliminate the failed practice of animal experimentation
• Redirect subsidies from livestock and fisheries farming to plant-based agriculture
• Phase out farming practices with poor welfare consequences for animals
• Establish an ‘NHS for animals’ to better protect the health of our animal companions
• Act on the known link between animal abuse and domestic violence, with increased penalties for those convicted of animal cruelty
• Extend the current ban on hunting with greater enforcement and stronger penalties for abuse
• A ban on ‘puppy farms’ and a ban on the sale of animals in all retail stores
• Promote healthy eating and healthy lifestyle initiatives in schools, GP practices and the workplace
• Educate children about the importance about compassion and respect towards all living beings
