Important Information and News » [Sticky] EU Ban on Battery Cages - Poland and DEFRA want to delay / weaken it!
-
Poland are trying to delay the ban on cruel battery hen cages, which is due to be introduced on the 1st Jan 2012.
What's worse is that DEFRA want to weaken this ban, to allow battery eggs to be still produced and sold within the country of origin.
That's not a ban!
Please take a moment to sign the petition which is hosted on Compassion in World Farming site.

From the "Chicken Out" team
Great news!
Yesterday the EU Council of Agriculture Ministers rejected Poland's attempt to delay the Europe-wide ban on barren battery cages. As a result, the ban is still due to come into force as planned in 2012.
Thank you to the 10,214 dedicated supporters who lobbied the UK government by sending emails, post cards and letters - once again, you have shown that we can get things done for farm animals when speaking with a united voice -
Was just about to post the same Ollie ;)

yyeeaahhh that is great news Ollie and everyone.
Now don't get me started on the illegal whaling that Japan persists in carrying out. We see a lot about it in the media here as it's done in our waters far too often. Our gov has made plans to take them to international court if they dont stop by deadline. -
