Rishi Sunak promised to 'champion' a bill to ban live exports – the cramming of cattle and sheep onto trucks for horrific journeys overseas for slaughter or further fattening. But instead of sticking to his promise, the government dropped their own bill!

People across the country and campaigners pushing for better animal welfare are furious, and time to get a new bill introduced and through Parliament is running out fast. That's why now is the moment for a massive citizen push.

There's a window of opportunity: Post-Brexit trade rule complications have led to a temporary halt to British live exports via Calais. But exporters could find a "solution" to this problem any day, and a ban will be much harder to get once vested interests are again making money from this cruel trade. So let's build a huge call now, and Avaaz will work with key animal welfare advocates to take it directly to No. 10.
