On Thursday 13^th June the Labour Party published their 2024 election manifesto.

For animals, their manifesto includes:

• End the badger cull
• Ban trail hunting
• Ban the import of hunting trophies
• End puppy smuggling and puppy farming
• Ban the use of snares
• Phase out animal testing

Here are the sections of the manifesto that relate to animal protection, reproduced as worded within the manifesto:

We will work with farmers and scientists on measures to eradicate Bovine TB, protecting livelihoods, so that we can end the ineffective badger cull.

Labour will improve animal welfare. We will ban trail hunting and the import of hunting trophies. We will end puppy smuggling and farming, along with the use of snare traps. And we will partner with scientists, industry, and civil society as we work towards the phasing out of animal testing.
