Live animal exports for slaughter are to be banned, journey times in England and Wales shortened and stricter rules on temperature and headroom in lorries

It also ignores the very real fact, that in some cases journeys to France and Belgium are shorter than journeys within UK to slaughter houses.
Also, there is now a shortage of people working in slaughter houses, so many animals are having to be killed on farms and burnt, which is stupidly wasteful and damaging the economy and the environment.
So it's an ideological decision, not a rational decision.
To be fair you don't need to travel out of the EU to be ashamed at the barbaric treatment of animals.
Here in England we are well known for blood sports.
In Spain the abuse of bulls is totally immoral and they even throw donkey's around for fun.
The horse-meat scam was nothing to do with the EU. In fact it involved crooks from three different countries including the UK. Foreigner-haters trans and filly are just yanking your chain. The UK meat industry is as cruel to animals as any.
