We want to know what you think about ending the export of live animals for slaughter and fattening in England and Wales, where the journeys begin in or transit through either country. We also want to know what you think about further improvements to animal welfare in transport, including:
- reduced maximum journey times
- animals being given more space and headroom during transport
- stricter rules on transporting animals in extreme temperatures
- tighter rules for transporting live animals by sea
