Animal Welfare (Exports)

Proceeding contribution from Bob Stewart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 December 2012. It occurred during Backbench debate on Animal Welfare (Exports).

I have been listening carefully to the hon. Gentleman and reading about this issue. Surely when the animals see that ramp into a truck they will start panicking. They must panic the whole time and be terrified for the whole journey and that really worries me. I feel so desperately sad for them that I am beginning to think that the way we should proceed is to slaughter at the farm. I know it is difficult, but that is what I am beginning to think.
