UK pet owners have bone to pick with post-Brexit travel rules

A lot of things pro-Brexiteers didn't think about before voting in the referendum. They should be lucky there are still foreigners working in the farms and hospitals, otherwise they'd be picking their own fruits or wiping their own backsides.

Unless you want to travel with pets. Which is what this article is about. And clearly shows that it is restricting the freedom of people’s lives.

That kind of control is an illusion. The pandemic is the best illustration of how much control people have. We’re all subject to what goes on around us.
