In reality, most humanists believe that our choices about how to act must take into account the impact on non-human animals. Animal welfare We support the reduction of animal suffering resulting from human behaviour and see compassionate attitudes to animal suffering as a hallmark of a humane society. In depth Animal welfare legislation in the UK mandates that all animals must be stunned so that they are insensible to pain before the lethal cut is made during the slaughtering process.
The Council subsequently voted in favour of this change. In , we called upon members and supporters to respond to a consultation on the draft Animal Welfare Sentencing and Recognition of Sentience Bill demanding an end to non-stunned slaughter. In , we called upon the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board to introduce a labelling system indicating whether an animal was pre-stunned or not on all of their approved sheep meat products. We have also extensively researched and lobbied high street shops and supermarkets in an attempt to curb their support for non-stunned slaughter and raise awareness of issues surrounding this.
Get involved Useful steps include writing to your MPs, councillors, or raising the issue in a letter to the editor of your local newspaper.

We want pupils from all different backgrounds educated together in a shared environment, rather than separated according to the religious beliefs of their parents. Find out more. We want a country where institutions such as Parliament are separate from religious organisations, and everyone is treated equally, regardless of their beliefs.
Human rights and equality. As humanists, we support the right of every person to be treated with dignity and respect, and to be allowed to speak, and believe, as they wish. Humanist marriages. Humanist marriages are currently legally recognised in Scotland and Northern Ireland, but not England and Wales. Elsewhere, couples having a humanist ceremony must also have a separate civil marriage.
