Whatever next. I bet some snowflake millennial on that committee will be telling me I can’t enjoy a nice steak and a glass of Merlot on a Friday night because I’m killing innocent cows, and grapes have feelings too.

Another tour de force Will.

We obviously followed the sentience bill(s) on its/their way through Parliament; and a lot of people put great effort into giving a nudge here and the as needed; especially when parliament was prorogued. This Bill was the first one they reactivated though. So that was a result.

Did you see the Happy case? We did get knocked back on that 5:2. But the trajectory of jurisprudence is that eventually the dissents become the settled law.

We also got a namecheck in Wilson’s dissent; so that was nice of him,

Your article is perfect timing. This week is the 200th anniversary of the first ever animal rights legislation. For a certain value of ‘rights’ anyway.

In reply to Anonymous. Apart from the tasty ones. I do like the tasty ones a lot, but only because they are delicious.
