英國環境大臣Kerry McCarthy說,雖然取得了一些進展,
以改善動物福利,最終人們需要放棄肉類或奶類,如果他們真的想保護動物。
突然對英國好感度大增。繼半數酪農即將轉行,
英國的政治家提倡禁止肉食就像禁止吸菸,這時代還想吃肉,
就應該受到像吸菸者的特殊待遇,加強對他們宣導食肉的害處!

Meat eaters should be treated in the same way as smokers
and targeted with ad campaigns urging them to become vegetarians,
according to Labour's new spokeswoman for
the farming industry.
Kerry McCarthy, who has admitted she is a "militant" vegan,
was appointed shadow environment secretary in Jeremy Corbyn's
front-bench team, alarming countryside
campaigners who warned that her veganism and strong
opposition to hunting and the badger cull would harm Britain's
farming industry.
She said that although progress had been made to improve animal welfare,
ultimately people needed to give up meat or dairy
if they really wanted to protect animals.
A graphic image from the 2007 Department of Health anti-smoking
campaign. Kerry McCarthy wants similar ads directed at meat-eaters
to warn of the impact to animal welfare Public campaigns,
such as those warning of the dangers of smoking, should
be used to encourage people to give up meat, Ms McCarthy said.
But her views were dismissed as "verging on the cranky"
by the Countryside Alliance, who have warned Mr Corbyn that
Ms McCarthy's appointment has made distanced
farmers even further from the Labour party.
