As a result, animals are being euthanised that would not previously have been.

Got a link to the article talking about euthanasia? (I’d also be very surprised if any animals had been euthanised already, as the bill was only passed yesterday.)

Date: 2019-06-12 01:30 pm (UTC)They weren't saying that any animals HAD been euthanised yet, only that this bill would cause that outcome in future.
I should have written "will be" instead of "are being" - sorry, I was tired.
