19 Apr 2021 --- Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) recently debated banning caged animals for food production in the EU in a public hearing as a result of the European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) End the Cage Age. “This is the sixth ECI to succeed among 76 registered initiatives in the last eight years. It represents the third-highest number of signatures ever collected and the first valid ECI for farmed animal welfare,” says Dolors Montserrat, petitions committee chair.
