@vonderleyen What matters to your EU Commission?
1.4 million citizens demanding an end to cages ❌
Animals suffering in cages ❌
Factory farming industry profits ✅
Protect democracy: DELIVER THE CAGE BAN NOW.
🚨TRAITOR: @CHansenEU
Responsibility: Work with @OliverVarhelyi to ban cages.
Reality: Siding with factory farming; delivering nothing for animals.
Consequence: Animals still suffering behind bars.
Will you betray animals again?
Or finally act? https://t.co/cTnheV84Yr
🚨TRAITOR: @OliverVarhelyi
Responsibility: Deliver the promised animal welfare legislation.
Reality: 500 days in office; no proposal.
Consequence: Animals still caged. Male chicks still killed at birth.

- 1.4 million people demanded an end to cages through the End the Cage Age ECI.
- Some farmers are already proving that leaving cages behind works.
- You admitted Europe “can and should” move away from cages.
What are you waiting for to deliver the cage ban @OliverVarhelyi?
The debate is over, @OliverVarhelyi.
Even you admit Europe should move away from cages. We don’t need more empty words, we need concrete actions.
As Commissioner for Animal Welfare, it is your job to turn those words into legislation!
When will you deliver the cage ban?
@mytheresa_com Nora Aufreiter should be held accountable for Kroger’s failure to end cages for hens. Cut ties with Nora, Mytheresa. Take a stand against animal cruelty!
@AE_Italia@OliverVarhelyi, will you continue ignoring animal welfare? Because by doing so, you’re ignoring millions of Europeans who care deeply about it, including me. Time to do your job. When will you present the cage ban?
@vonderleyen@magyarpeterMP Under your leadership, the factory farming industry gets 7x more access to animal welfare discussions than those defending animals. This is not democracy, it's corporate influence. Stop serving the factory farming industry. Deliver the animal welfare revision NOW.
@CHansenEU@europainitalia@FrancescoLollo1 Millions of citizens want an end to cages and male chick killing. You keep meeting the factory farming industry to discuss “animal welfare.”In case you forgot: you don’t work at the Factory Farms headquarters.Stop serving the industry.Follow the citizens mandate: protect animals
@OliverVarhelyi@WHO@EU_Health Commissioner for Animal Welfare… or for Factory Farming? After the many meetings you’ve held with the factory farming industry, it’s hard to tell. Remember: your mandate is with citizens, not corporate profits. Ban cages. End male chick killing. NOW.
EU citizens demand an end to force-feeding. The foie gras industry spent €199,000 to keep it legal.
The result? In 2026, force-feeding is still legal in the EU.
Money gets heard. Citizens get ignored.
Who do you represent? @OliverVarhelyi@CHansenEU@flaviofacioni@anto_bxl
Citizens demand a ban on force-feeding.
The foie gras industry spends €199,000 lobbying EU officials and meets @OliverVarhelyi, @flaviofacioni, and @anto_bxl (@CHansenEU cabinet).
Force-feeding remains legal.
EU democracy is at stake.
Money shouldn’t write EU laws.
Remember these names:
@OliverVarhelyi - EU Commissioner for Health and Animal Welfare
@flaviofacioni - Cabinet Member
@CHansenEU - EU Commissioner for Agriculture and Food
@anto_bxl - Cabinet Member
They are responsible for force-feeding remaining legal in the EU.
@AE_Italia 1.4 million people signed the ECI “End The Cage AGE”. 190,000 demanded a cage ban again in the recent public consultation. You have the power - and the mandate - to end cages. Stop protecting the farm industry. Ban cages now. @CHansenEU@OliverVarhelyi@vonderleyen
@EU_Commission Unacceptable. For 15 months, you discussed animal welfare with those profiting from animal suffering, and almost never with those defending animals. We want the farm industry out of the EU Commission!
@CHansenEU@EUAgri Animals are still in cages. Male chicks are still killed at birth. Meanwhile, you meet the industry behind it to discuss “animal welfare”. Enough. Ban cages. End male chick killing. NOW!
@OliverVarhelyi@Europarl_EN Animals are still in cages. Male chicks are still killed at birth. Meanwhile, you meet the industry behind it to discuss “animal welfare”. Enough. Ban cages. End male chick killing. NOW!
@CHansenEU You met the livestock industry at least 46 times to discuss animal welfare since 2024. Citizens asking questions get no reply. Who is really running EU animal welfare?
