It is now well established that aquatic animals can experience pain, stress, and suffering, and that their welfare is affected by how they are kept, handled, and slaughtered. Despite this, their welfare is not protected by EU legislation , which has led to them often being kept and killed in ways that do not take their welfare into account.

What they argued
Animal welfare Sweden welcomes this review and wishes to influence the part dealing with related products such as bones, feathers, leather, fur, wool and exotic skin products, etc. We do not believe that any type of labelling should include welfare labelling for animal products in the context of this review. A welfare label should be introduced in consultation with experts in the field of animal welfare.
Filed in Swedish · English published by the European Commission
General comments It's positive that dogs and cats will be covered by an animal welfare framework. The proposal that aims at improving and protecting the welfare of dogs and cats through regulations concerning traceability, care, breeding, and importation is generally positive and will be able to make a difference for dogs and cats both within and outside the union.
