<P><BIG><B>Big business is making big money from animal suffering. In Europe
alone, hundreds of millions of animals spend most of their lives, some from
birth to death, in a cage.</B> Mother pigs are forced to nurse their piglets in
crates. Ducks and geese are caged to be force-fed to produce foie gras (the
liver of a fattened duck or goose). Rabbits and quail spend their entire lives
in barren cages.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>The majority of the 12 million sows (mother pigs) in the EU spend
nearly half of every year inside cages. </B>They are even caged for weeks before
and after pregnancy, and have to feed their newborn piglets through cage bars.
<B>Once they are finally released from their cages, they are re-inseminated and
the caged cycle begins all over again. </B>[1]</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Thankfully there is something we can do that can tip the scales in
favour of animal welfare: over 1,000,000 Europeans have already taken action and
signed an official European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) to ban cages in animal
farming. [2]<B> But the ECI will go through a strict checking procedure where
the government verifies that each signature is from a real person. As a result,
nearly 20% of signatures could be declared invalid due to errors!</B></BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>We need to make sure that this ECI is successful and reaches the
required signatures before time runs out. Could you help with your signature?

<P><BIG><B>Polls show that Europeans do care about the well-being of
animals.</B> 94% of people in Europe believe protecting the welfare of farm
animals is important and 82% feel that they should be more protected.[3] EU
leaders need to hear our voices, and the only official way we can reach them
definitively is through the ECI. Together we can ban the cage age in European
farming.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>If more than 1,000,000 EU citizens’ signatures are confirmed, <B>the EU
Commission and MEPs will be obligated to meet us and reply to the initiative in
detail. It could even result in the Commission proposing a new EU law</B> – just
like what happened after our ECI to ban glyphosate reached 1,000,000 signatures.
We’re almost there, but now we need a big push from the WeMove
community!</BIG></P>

<P><BIG>The way animals are caged in Europe often doesn't allow them to interact
with others, to socialise properly – a fundamental need for them, as it is for
us humans. Moreover, some have to constantly keep the same artificial postures
to fit in their cages! Basic needs like stretching or even looking around are
denied.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>The WeMove community has been at the forefront of the push for
sustainable farming in Europe.</B> There are many things wrong with the way our
farming system is currently run, and cages in farming is just one of those
things. Together we’ve already taken action to call for an end to industrial
meat production that leads to animal suffering, monoculture and the massive use
of pesticides in our farming. <B>Now we have a real chance to make cages a thing
of the past in European farming. Will you join us?</B></BIG></P>

at WeMove.EU</BIG></P>
<P> </P>
<P><BIG>PS: Because this campaign is a European Citizens’ Initiative, you’ll
have to enter your details in a two-step process. <B>The ECI is like an official
EU petition, so it requires more information than we’d normally ask from you to
sign a petition. Please fully complete the ECI form in order to have your
signature counted and verified by your national government.</B></BIG></P>

Until 2013, in most of the European Union, sow stalls could be used throughout
pregnancy. Now, the EU Pigs Directive prohibits the use of sow stalls after the
first four weeks following insemination. However, the farrowing crate is allowed
and used routinely for up to 5 weeks per pregnancy in many EU member states.
