European democracy at stake

“Science is clear – ducks, geese and quail must not be caged, and dairy cows must not be tied into small cubicles," said Olga Kikou, Head of Compassion in World Farming EU. "We expect that EU politicians will dutifully listen to science and deliver on their promise to end the use of cages in farming and give farmed animals a life worth living."

"European citizens have long been waiting for the EU reform on animal welfare, yet Big Agriculture lobbyists are engaged in an all-out battle to stall or reverse progress. These vested interests are putting European democracy at stake, even more so with the European elections just around the corner. All eyes turn to the Commission now,” Olga added.
