No Animal Left Behind
Europe’s animal welfare laws were introduced piece by piece over the last 40 years, but they are rarely enforced correctly, and there are serious gaps that leave millions of animals unprotected.
We must make sure a full-scale review takes place, that our demands for the best possible welfare standards are heard, and that no animal is left behind.
Farmed animal welfare laws must do more than protect every animal from neglect and cruelty, and minimise their suffering; they should actively promote a positive state of health and wellbeing.
