On September 14th, the Institute’s Director of Advocacy Olga Kikou will be in Warsaw, Poland to speak at this year’s Conference on Animal Rights in Europe (CARE) Conference organized by Anima International. Olga will discuss the factors accounting for the blocking of the revision of EU farm animal welfare legislation.
On October 30th, the Jeremy Coller Foundation (Coller Animal Law Forum) will organize a webinar on the topic of climate change litigation and factory farming, with Daina Bray (Yale Law School), Edie Bowles (Animal Law Foundation) and Nieves Noval, moderated by Alice Di Concetto and Celine Montloin.
Gabriela Kubíková (Legislative Advocacy Manager) was quoted in Vegconomist about the recent proposal by a resolution to end cages in EU law submitted in the French Parliament.
We already know that Europe’s citizens want to see an end to caged farming, with 1.4 million adding their signatures to the ‘End the Cage Age’ ECI. We also know that in 2021, the European Parliament adopted a resolution calling for a ban. Now, just ahead of the European Commission’s release of its Work Programme for 2026, it seems that more than 30 French MPs – most of whom are on the right or center of the political spectrum – feel the same way.
