🚨 This week is critical for protecting animals and ensuring that the long-awaited foie gras import ban is delivered. Just days before taking office, the Government promised to ban foie gras imports - made by violently force-feeding ducks and geese until their livers swell to the size of a small football. To keep that promise, they must secure an animal welfare carve-out in ongoing UK-EU trade negotiations. Today, that call has been strongly backed. The Commons Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee (EFRA) has published a major report urging the Government to pursue a Swiss-style carve-out on animal welfare - to stop the UK being forced to automatically follow weaker EU rules and so we have freedom to restrict certain products from entering our shores, like cruel foie gras. This is the strongest parliamentary endorsement yet of what we and our fellow campaigners have been calling for. Animal Equality UK submitted written evidence to this inquiry - and our arguments are now part of the official record shaping pressure on ministers. 👉 Share this video and tag @DefraGovUK and @biztradegovuk 👉 Urge them to demand an animal welfare carve-out - and keep their promise to animals.
