Liz Truss ‘to scrap proposed bans on fur and foie gras imports’

Dropping promises made last year would be huge let-down for animals and people, says Conservative Animal Welfare Foundation

Liz Truss is set to scrap proposed bans on importing fur and foie gras to the UK, according to a Tory insider, sparking outrage from animal lovers.

The new prime minister will also reportedly ditch a ban on live animal exports in her first weeks in office.

The decisions will be a massive blow to campaigners who have spent decades lobbying for the reforms to spare animals from suffering.
