\u201cBREAKING: overwhelming support by EU Parliament for a ban on cages for farmed animals! \n\nToday the EU Parliament have adopted a resolution urging the EU Commission to #EndTheCageAge by 2027. \n\n\u2705 558 Yes\n\u274c 37 No\n\ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2640\ufe0f 85 abstained\u201d— Compassion in World Farming (@Compassion in World Farming) 1623338517
"Citizens have been waiting for years to see the cages ban materialize. We are delighted that the European Parliament has taken a firm stance against cages. The time has come now for politicians to put words into action." --Olga Kikou, CIWF E.U.
"Acting to improve the welfare of animals is an ethical, social, and economic imperative," said Stella Kyriakides, European commissioner for health and food safety. "Our rules need to change and that is a very clear call from our citizens."
Kyriakides' decision to attend the debate and her support for the vote's outcome was taken as a positive sign by Philip Lymbery, CEO of the animal welfare group Compassion in World Farming (CIWF).
Advocates still have "a long way to go," noted Lymbery, as "any proposed new law will need to make its way through Brussels, seeking approval from both the European Parliament and the Council of the E.U., meaning we still have much work to do."
\u201c\u201cFarmed animals have never had so many people standing up for them.\u201d\n\nExcellent news as the European Parliament votes in favor of banning caged farming! We hope the U.S. follows suit. https://t.co/byUv4XjG8y\u201d— Farm Sanctuary (@Farm Sanctuary) 1623698461
Political revenge. Mass deportations. Project 2025. Unfathomable corruption. Attacks on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Pardons for insurrectionists. An all-out assault on democracy. Republicans in Congress are scrambling to give Trump broad new powers to strip the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit he doesn’t like by declaring it a “terrorist-supporting organization.” Trump has already begun filing lawsuits against news outlets that criticize him. At Common Dreams, we won’t back down, but we must get ready for whatever Trump and his thugs throw at us. Our Year-End campaign is our most important fundraiser of the year. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. By donating today, please help us fight the dangers of a second Trump presidency. |
