Boiled alive, crammed into overcrowded tanks, kept alive on ice, posted using Amazon... All because the UK government doesn't consider crabs and lobsters "animals" under the law. However, with your support, that could be just about to change!
Be part of animal welfare history...
The UK government are currently reviewing a new piece of legislation - the Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill, which would protect these animals as sentient beings. They are deciding right NOW whether decapods should be included under its protections. If they are, it would finally help give crabs, lobsters and other crustaceans the protection from cruelty they deserve.
We urgently need your support so the government knows that people care about this issue.
