No Animal Left Behind posters take over Brussels' EU district

As part of Eurogroup for Animals' 'No Animal Left Behind' campaign, posters can be found in Brussels' EU district this week targeting the European Commission in light of the "once in a lifetime opportunity" to change history for farmed animals with its imminent revision of animal welfare legislation.

EU animal welfare rules remain limited, poorly enforced, and plagued by loopholes, leading to widespread suffering in the farming sector. From the cruel handling of broiler chickens to chaining the back legs of dairy cows, our recent exposé reveals how the EU’s farmed animals are being callously treated by those who are meant to care for them.

At the end of March, Eurogroup for Animals launched the second phase of the 'No Animals Left Behind' campaign together with its over 80 member organisations around Europe and beyond. The campaign aims to expose existing animal welfare shortcomings in EU legislation and offer feasible solutions to the unnecessary suffering of the EU's farmed animals that could be incorporated in the revised legislation due by the end of the year. 

Posters were strategically placed around Brussels' EU district to raise awareness about the upcoming revision of the EU's animal welfare legislation and remind policy makers about EU citizens' expectations in light of the mass public response to End the Cage Age European Citizens' Initiative, Fur Free Europe European Citizens' Initiative and the first No Animal Left Behind campaign.
