<P><BIG>Hi,</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>Hundreds of millions of animals in Europe spend most of their lives
in a cage,</B> sometimes from birth until death. [1] All to fill the deep
pockets of multinationals and big agribusiness. Rabbits, hens, and female pigs
can all expect to spend their lives in impossibly cramped conditions.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>But in just a few days, our MEPs in the EU Parliament will vote</B>
on banning cages in European farming – a huge opportunity to end the extreme
animal suffering that’s part and parcel of the way we produce food. [2] The EU
Commission has already said they’re planning to take action, but it’s not clear
how far they’ll go. [3]</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>They could propose something as ambitious as a ban on all cages in EU
farming by 2027! But they’ll only do it if MEPs step up to the opportunity</B>
and signal that they would actually vote for a new law like this.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>If each of us individually contacts our representatives in the EU
Parliament directly before this week’s vote, <B>we have a real chance to end
cage farming for good!</B></BIG></P>

<P><BIG><B>If MEPs don’t vote “yes” in high enough numbers this week, then the
EU Commission may just propose more research studies,</B> which could take years
to complete and effectively kicks this can down the road for future politicians.
All the while, the suffering of hundreds of millions of animals will hang in the
balance.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>But if MEPs vote overwhelmingly this week to ban cages in EU farming,
then the EU Commission will be pushed to take bold, decisive action</B> – and
ban cages in European farming by 2027, once and for all.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Some MEPs may not have strong feelings about animal welfare – others
might not even know that this vote is going to be happening.<B> So imagine when
these MEPs see hundreds of messages on email and Twitter from us – their
constituents – asking them to represent us and vote to end animal
suffering!</B></BIG></P>
<CENTER><BIG><B>Will you take 1 minute to join this action, and pressure our
representatives in the EU Parliament to vote for an ambitious ban on cages in EU
farming?</B></BIG></CENTER>

<P><BIG><B>We’ve literally been working on this issue together as a community
for years.</B> [4] Sometimes change takes time, and we don’t always see the
impact of our actions right away. But we’ve finally made it to this moment,
where the EU may finally take a stand – <B>all we need is a push to get it over
the line.</B></BIG></P>
<P><BIG>So much of this work is thanks to the European Citizens’ Initiative to
End the Cage Age, to which our community added tens of thousands of signatures
over two years ago! [5] Together with over a million people from elsewhere in
Europe, we pushed our leaders to make animal welfare a priority and deliver
real, lasting change. We’re finally almost there – <A

hens in the so-called ‘enriched cages’ have only the space of about an A4 sheet
of paper, which does not allow them to perform basic needs such as dustbathing
and wing-flapping. Rabbits raised for meat are sometimes unable to stretch up or
out fully and generally do not have enough space to perform a single hop. Almost
all adult female pigs spend nearly half of every year inside crates, in which
they cannot even turn around.<BR>[2]
