<P><B>The pig industry locks mother pigs into metal cages so tight
they cannot turn around. </B>These intelligent animals, who sing to
their newborns and form deep bonds, are immobilized during the most
important moment of their lives.</P>
<P><B>Right now, we have a once-in-a-generation chance to finally
ban these cruel cages, </B>as the European Union is revising
its animal welfare laws.</P>
<P>If we create massive public pressure, lawmakers can be pushed to
end this cruel practice for good. <B>But the window to act is
closing fast. We need thousands of us backing this call right
now.</B></P>

pigs.</A></P>
<P><B>Pigs are as emotionally complex as dogs — they build nests,
hum to their babies, and recognize each piglet by voice.</B> Yet
when confined in farrowing crates, they are stripped of these
natural behaviors and suffer physical and psychological
distress.</P>
<P>The industry claims these cages prevent piglet crushing. But the
reality is far more brutal: the pig industry uses them to crowd more
animals into less space to squeeze out more profit. And this cruelty
is entirely avoidable.<B> Humane alternatives already exist across
Europe, proving farmers can transition without compromising safety
or viability.</B></P>
<P>After years of public pressure, the European Union committed to
phasing out cruel cages like farrowing crates. But that promise has
been delayed—and unless it is written clearly into the new animal
welfare law, it could be weakened or abandoned altogether.</P>
<P>This is our moment: the chance to hold lawmakers accountable and
force an end to these cruel cages once and for all. That’s why we
must act now. Every signature piles pressure on policymakers, and
<B>if enough of us speak out together, we can create an outcry so
powerful they will have no choice but to listen.</B></P>
