I never read papers or take much notice of them.
I saw Caroline Lucas propose the transfer into domestic UK law that animals were sentient beings.

That was her amendment in these debates.

The fact remains only the Con and DUP MPs out of all the Parties and MPs at Westminster,voted against that.
The govt only won this with DUP votes,313 to 295 was the result.

If it's no big issue why was the govt so intent on ensuring it had all its guns voting against said amendment.

I know nothing of the Independent since it went online only,I only know what Caroline Lucas proposed in her amendment.
I ask again,if there's nothing sinister why have only the Cons led the charge against such a simple proposed amendment.
