answer text: The Government consulted in England and Wales in 2020 on improvements to animal welfare in transport, including ending live animal exports for slaughter and fattening. The Government is banning export journeys to slaughter through the Animal Welfare (Livestock Exports) Bill which is progressing through Parliament. Exports for purposes such as breeding, will continue to be permitted providing all legislative requirements to protect animal welfare are met. Animals exported for breeding are generally transported in very good conditions and are able to live a full and healthy life once they arrive at the destination country.
