" The 2012 battery cage ban is under threat. Help us lobby Defra to oppose the Polish government’s suggested postponement of the ban to 2017.
Earlier this week, Poland proposed a delay to the ban on conventional battery cages by five years, to 2017. Jim Fitzpatrick MP, the Defra Minister responsible for animal welfare, will be present at the EU Agricultural Council on 22 February, when Ministers will address this proposal. We need him to vigorously oppose Poland’s suggestion and for the Council to reject it."

But if people look at the 3rd addy down they will see how cruel the farming can be.

Update from an email just received :))

"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 Compassion supporters across Europe who lobbied on our behalf 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. "
