European Parliament overwhelmingly backs ban on caged animal farming

The European Parliament is calling for a ban on caged animal farming, after voting overwhelmingly in favour to end the practice. The idea originally came from a European Citizens Initiative that was started in September 2018, which has so far gathered nearly 1.4 million signatures in at least 18 member states in support of animal welfare. Olga Kikou, Head of Compassion in World Farming EU and one of the citizens leading the ‘End the Cage Age’ petition told Euronews that some animals never leave their cages during their lifetime. We have estimated, and this is a very conservative number, that over 300 million animals, farmed animals, spend most of their life or their entire life in cages in Europe, every year.

Aleksandra Terzieva, public affairs advisor to Compassion in World Farming, said that the EU has been slow to take action.
