Members of the European Parliament are scheduled to debate a motion this week (Thursday, June 10) related to a proposal to ban caged farming across Europe by 2027.
The Agriculture and Rural Development Committee motion comes as a result of the European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI), End the Cage Age.
This citizen-led campaign attracted close to 1.4 million signatures –
more than 14,500 from Ireland – backing the call to remove, from farming, the remaining cages, farrowing crates, stalls and pens.
Each year in the EU, about 300 million animals are reared in cages or individual stalls according to a report by Compassion in World Farming.
