Animals are capable of feeling physical pain and mental distress. The Green Party believes that animals have the right to live free from suffering, animals must be legally protected from mistreatment by humans.
We oppose all forms of factory farming and the fur trade. Greens campaign for an immediate ban on all sports that involve cruelty to animals and the ending of animal experimentation.
Greens will champion greater action to stop all forms of animal abuse and suffering in London, including:
A GLA Animal Protection Strategy for implementation across the capital.
Work to get an animal protection officer in every borough.
Produce comprehensive information on vegetarian and vegan diets.
Promote a cruelty-free economy and cruelty-free practices including cruelty-free rules on GLA purchasing.
Action to end London’s fur trade.
Animal protection officer success: London now has an animal protection officer thanks to Green Assembly Members. Green Party candidate Noel Lynch said “Cruelty to animals has no place in a civilised society, and in the London that Greens want every effort will be made to stamp it out.”
The Animal Welfare Policy of the London Green Party.
