    I cannot answer for the Quaker heart ,ir the Parliamentarians that voted down this bill but it seems to me to be self evident that cows that mourn their offspring’s removal, pigs that are intelligent animals and show bonding, sheep that recognise each other after three years of separation, all are sentient creatutes. They only fail to be so where profit and exploitation take precedence.

    I have just read this and would also like to ask the Society of Friends where the Quaker heart is on these matters. The BYM website barely mentions the term nonhuman animals – they appear to be loosely filed within the Sustainability testimony or edited out altogether. the above comment from Susan Gowans would be a good letter to send to the Friend.

    As a Christian I am totally appalled by the accepted Principal by UK Law of Factory Farming particularly of Chicken , Pig and now Beef .which are financed heavily by Big American/South American Business . The Bucolic image of Country life is not a reality in UK although it is still promoted as a true image by popular TV and a daily Radio 4 program. From field to Fork has proved to be too great a distance for Public connection to the facts. I was a Retail Textile Buyer for a large Supermarket/Store and the principal still remains that the goods ordered in that Retailers name are the Retailers responsibility.Why is there not a wide spread outcry about selling Cruelty? (Surveys have shown that Marks & Spencers and Waitrose are exempt from my remarks) Most Businesses have Modern Slavery Statements .is this not an indicator for those Retailers selling meat to have an Animal Welfare Declaration of a similar nature . I note the ruling Party in Parliament November 2020 defeated by 18 votes an attempt by Caroline Lucas to recognise Farmed Animals as Sentient Beings . I would like to know where the Quaker heart is on these matters ? Thank you.

      thank you Susan – I empathise with your frustration. Perhaps your question could be sent as a letter to “the Friend” similar to an “advice and query”to ask the Quaker world where is the Quaker heart in this and other animal issues. QCA tries but it is still a struggle to hear more than the faintest beat of compassion for our non human friends. Many prefer to live in a reassuring fantasy. Of course, ignorance in the way humanity treats non humans is leading to continuing SARS type pandemics and those of us who do care have no immunity to the suffering consequential upon others’ actions.
