England has finally banned the cruel practice of boiling lobsters alive, recognising that these animals feel pain and suffer intensely. This is a major step forward for animal welfare. However, the ban only applies to England. Lobsters in Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland can still be boiled alive, facing the same agonising deaths. Compassion should not stop at borders within the UK.
Scientists and animal welfare experts have long agreed that crustaceans experience pain. That is why boiling lobsters alive is already illegal in countries like Norway, New Zealand, and Switzerland. The UK must catch up fully. This same animal welfare package also bans puppy farming, hen cages, and pig farrowing crates, showing real progress. But leaving parts of the UK behind undermines these values. Protecting animals, the environment, and basic decency requires nationwide action. Sign the petition now. Sign the petition now to demand the ban applies across the entire globe.
