The Independent has now admitted this was fake news: "Put simply, what happened is this: MPs did not vote that animals are not sentient creatures…
Campaigners – and some news coverage – initially said that the Government had voted against recognising sentience. The Independent was among publishers that reported the story in that way. But it became clear that this claim was not right, even though it had been interpreted by some campaigners in that way. (The Independent updated its coverage to ensure it was accurate)." Of course, the damage is done as millions read the original story, and few will read the retraction. It illustrates how most journalists these days don't bother to fact check.
