Where do the parties stand on animal welfare?
Last update 22/01/19
We would never tell you who to vote for. But you may be interested in reading the most recently updated information about the animal welfare policies of our elected political representatives in the UK House of Commons.
Once a general election is called then the political parties will publish new manifesto detailing their policies should they be elected to government. In the meantime you may find the following websites of interest linking to the latest available published political party animal welfare policies and active political party animal welfare groups that seek to influence their party policies:

The quantity of animal welfare policies does not necessarily indicate the subjective quality of policies. We encourage all voters to read all party policies and election manifestos relating to animals and non-animal issues and consult their local candidates, before making an informed choice at the polling booth at elections.
