and told me that if we left the EU, then animals would suffer as 'we didn't have our own animal welfare laws'.

All we will need to do is adopt the good ones (legislation ) into our own law and chuck out the stupid ones we don't want. Others we will be free to amend before we make them ours.

We have perfectly good laws, some of which are ancient. We can cherry pick the best ones the EU has when we leave (we can even use emerging EU laws, outside of the EU, no big deal, if they are appropriate [e,g, for tech or automotive]). It's all tiresome scaremongering by thickos.
