European Commission plans to ban cage farming for hens and crates for sows

The European Commission published its Animal Farming Strategy, announcing upcoming legislative proposals to ban keeping laying hens in cages and sows in stalls. Małgorzata Szadkowska of the "End of Cage Age" citizens' committee expressed cautious optimism but questioned whether the announcements would translate into real legislation. The campaign against cage farming has been running for years, with a previous citizens' initiative gathering over one million signatures.
