The year 2022 has seen many breakthroughs for animals: 

  • The Council of the EU called on the European Commission to enact a ban on the culling of male chicks.

  • Thanks to our lobbying efforts, the European Commission committed to launching a new reference centre dedicated to fish welfare, a real victory for these cinderella species.

  • The ECI Save Cruelty Free Cosmetics closed with over 1 million signatures.

  • Ensuring exotic animals unsuited to captivity cannot be kept as pets: both the Council of the EU and the European Parliament supported a feasibility study for an EU Positive List of species allowed as pets. Any not on the list will be illegal to keep.

  • Our ECI Fur Free Europe collected more than 1 million signatures in 6 months (and ended up with over 1.7 million signatures!!).

  • And much more!
    Our organisation and its members are operating in unprecedented times. After the Covid pandemic, we were shocked by the invasion and war in Ukraine and its effects on the economy and geo-political situation, as well as the acceleration of the climate crisis. It seems that living in crisis mode is becoming the new norm. There are many voices exploiting these crises to moderate the ambitions of the EU Green Deal and Farm to Fork strategy. But, if there's one crisis mitigation tactic, it's about investing in the highest animal welfare standards possible."
