EnviroLink Forum

Hello

I am a third year student currently studying Animal Science.
For my Dissertation I am doing a study on the public knowledge of penalties imposed by breaking the laws set out in the Animal Welfare Act 2006.
I am also asking weather people think the penalties should be increased decreased or remain the same.
I would be very greatful if anyone on this forum was willing to take part in this survey.
Please follow this link and answer the questions.

No personal information is collected but there are a few demographic questions at the end.
If this breaks forums rules i apologise.

Again the link is :

Many Thanks

Does this survey apply to people in other countries? Most of the people here are Americans and I am Canadian.

Hello

Anybody from a country outside of the uk do please feel free to take the survey also.
The main data is showing peoples beliefs on if welfare laws should be increased or decreased.
the specific questions about the UK law are there just to see if the general populace know the law and will not be heavily used in final write up.

Many thanks

Glad the question was asked as I was also wondering ....
And without even having read the survey .... I will admit my particular "bias" straight up.

My opinion (again, without having read or taken the survey yet) .... is that so called 'welfare' is nothing more than a justification and rationalization for what has become a veritable tragedy ...... unprecedented in written history ...... for the wide spread abuse of animals. The world has not seen anything like what is happening to animals in the recent history of our story. Our relationships to animals has deteriorated as much as our relationships to each other has. The abuse of animals, while it has always existed, has become institutionalized and accepted as the norm.

Having said that, I will now complete your survey.

"the specific questions about the UK law are there just to see if the general populace know the law and will not be heavily used in final write up."

I do not know the UK law, but answered the survey anyway. Shall we increase the jail sentences of dog abusers when the abattoir walls are not made of glass?

How could the survey be worded if the abattoir walls were made of glass?
