A trade expert in @BBCr4today just explained how UK needs to *remove* protection for animal welfare in order to compete in the global market for beef and lamb. Is that what consumers want? Is it what farmers want? All for 0.01% of GDP? Not many farmers will want to use growth hormones, or consider the cruel practice of mulesing, so as a Welsh farmer explained on @BBCr4today they will be forced to increase stocking rates to compete.
