The Animal Welfare (Livestock Exports) Bill is a proposed legislation in the UK that aims to end the live exports of animals from Great Britain for slaughter or fattening.
No animals have been exported for slaughter from Great Britain since it was announced the government's intention to bring forward a ban in 2021.[1] If passed this bill will make export for slaughter and fattening permanent.
The bill will still allow live animal exports for other circumstances, such as breeding and competitions, provided they meet legal requirements aimed at protecting animal welfare.[1]
