(I think this is a pretty important post to get the word out about, so I’d really appreciate you restacking it).

The EU is taking input into their farm animal welfare policies until December 12. Animals in the EU are kept confined in a space about the size of a piece of paper, never able to express their natural behaviors or move around much, constantly standing against wire meshing. They suffer constantly because of inadequate animal welfare laws. These animals deserve better than a brief and hellish life of the kind currently afforded to them.

Usually, a shockingly small number of people submit input, which means that by providing feedback (which you can do whether or not you’re an EU citizen), you can be one of a relatively small number of people impacting decisions which affect hundreds of millions of farm animals. Specifically, you can influence whether hundreds of millions of animals have to languish in a tiny cage, and whether baby male chicks can be ground up alive right after birth.

Filling out the questionnaire should take only a few minutes. If every one of you filled it out, then my blog readers personally would make up a sizeable share of public input on EU animal welfare laws. Here are recommended answers to the questions (as some of them are a bit confusing).

Please, please, please, fill it out and share it with others sharing similar concerns. This can be hugely impactful on the lives of hundreds of millions of farmed animals.
