lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of the Paulsen report on a European Union Strategy for the Protection and Welfare of Animals 2012-2015. In a modern, peaceful society, no one can remain indifferent to the fate of animals. We should note in particular the clear message sent by MEPs about the importance of animal health and the link between animal health and public health, and the ratification by the European Union of the European Convention for the Protection of Pet Animals. I therefore regret that our Parliament has now succumbed to the fashion for labelling for prior stunning (paragraph 49 of the resolution). Currently, only two Member States, Sweden and Austria, impose stunning prior to the slaughter of an animal, in circumstances where other Member States have opted for dialogue with Muslim and Jewish religious authorities. The defence of freedoms is also the defence of the freedom of worship and ancestral traditions. If the issue is really one of reducing animal suffering, these self-righteous people would do better to worry about the fate of these animals when they are alive. If the issue is one of health security, then it is controls in the abattoirs that we should be strengthening and not the labelling of pre-packed meats."@en1
