@CHansenEU@martinheydonfg The Livestock Strategy says the EU wants to end cages and male chick killing. But it ties those promises to what's best for the factory farming industry.
Commissioner, no more betrayals. Ensure that the strong animal welfare legislation Europeans were promised is delivered.
@CHansenEU@EUAgri@Ireland2026eu@martinheydonfg Why did recommendations submitted by European Livestock Voice (ELV) to your team later appear in the Commission's policy approach?
The companies that profit from animal suffering should not shape the policies meant to protect animals.
We deserve transparency.
@vonderleyen Five years ago, you promised to end cages.
The Livestock Strategy sets the direction.
Now lead the Commission to deliver the legislation to end cages and the killing of male chicks.
Will you finally keep your promise?
@OliverVarhelyi@EU_Commission@EU_Health The Livestock Strategy includes plans to end cages and the killing of male chicks.
Your responsibility is clear: deliver the promised animal welfare legislation this year and make sure these commitments become law.
Don't fail animals and citizens… again.
Five years ago, Europe promised to end cages. You committed to modernizing EU animal welfare.
The Livestock Strategy is a step forward.
Now make sure its commitments to end cages and the killing of male chicks stay in the final legislation.
We have waited long enough.
🚨@vonderleyen
Responsibility: Deliver the cage ban promised by the @EU_Commission under your leadership
Reality: 5 years later, nothing
Consequence: 300M animals caged. Citizens losing trust
Will you betray animals again?
Or finally act? https://t.co/Epb1wVncAB
🚨 @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/Epb1wVncAB
🚨 @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.
Will you betray animals again?
Or finally act? https://t.co/Epb1wVncAB
Enough speeches, @OliverVarhelyi.
Without timelines, financing, or legislation, your words are not a real plan to end cages.
Animals are still suffering while you delay the legislation that could protect them.
How many more days will animals wait for you to do your job?
- 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?
@OliverVarhelyi@EU_Commission You said Europe “can and should” move away from cages.
Yet there is still no cage-ban legislation.
No proposal. No timeline. No action.
Meanwhile, 300 million animals remain trapped in cages every day.
When will you finally deliver the cage ban proposal?
@mytheresa_com Mytheresa customers care about animal welfare. Please remove Nora Aufreiter from leadership due to her ties to animal cruelty with Kroger. https://t.co/QPBkiRAb2L
@OliverVarhelyi@Brainlab The @Europarl_EN has raised concerns about “serious and prolonged management failures” in your previous role, @OliverVarhelyi. In your current role, the failure is clear: 500+ days without a cage ban proposal. When will you deliver? Give us a date.
@OliverVarhelyi@PuertoAlgeciras@LuisPlanas@ComisionEuropea You visited the EU country with the most animals in cages, yet you didn’t address the cage ban.
More than 800 days have passed since the EU’s deadline to present the proposal to end cages.
When will you present the animal welfare revision to end cages and male chick killing?
@vonderleyen@magyarpeterMP Under your leadership, the factory farming industry gets 7x more access to animal welfare discussions than those defending animals. Is the EU Commission now the Factory Farms headquarters? Stop serving the factory farming industry. Deliver the animal welfare revision NOW.
