animal welfare standards
I would like Cornwall to be a county that leads the way when it comes to animal welfare. A zero tolerance towards all forms of animal cruelty - puppy farms, dog fighting, illegal hunting with dogs etc. I would like to see Cornish livestock farms and slaughter houses become beacons of excellent animal husbandry for the way in which animals are reared and slaughtered. I want Cornwall to reject cheap meat and to raise awareness of the exploitation of animals that occurs when meat is mass produced in order for it to be sold cheaply. I want school children in Cornwall to understand where their food comes from. I want us all to cherish and protect natural habitats that support biodiversity - our sea, the coastline, the fields, the woodlands. I want Cornwall to be compassionate, kind and respectful towards all our domesticated and wild animals.
