28 Jun 2024 --- Leading EU NGOs are urging the European Court of Justice to join the court case holding the European Commission (EC) to account for failing to deliver on its pledge to end cage farming in Europe, as millions of animals continue to spend their lives confined in cages. The court case, brought forward by the Citizens Committee of the End the Cage Age European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI), spearheaded by Compassion in World Farming, is holding the EC accountable for failing to bring forward the legislative proposals it promised in response to the ECI, in which 1.4 million EU citizens demanded an end to cage farming.
