Ask MEPs to support a phase out of the use of cages in animal farming. They can do that by voting in favour of the Resolution on the European Citizens’ Initiative “End the Cage Age” in two weeks time.

You can send the example email below, or rewrite it. Here are some points you can include to make an impactful email:

• Introduce yourself first, and where you live.
• Ask them to support a phase out of the use of cages in animal farming.
• Ask them to vote YES for the Resolution on the European Citizens’ Initiative “End the Cage Age” (2021/2633(RSP)).
• Some shocking facts about caged farming in the EU you can add:
• Egg-laying hens in the so-called ‘enriched cages’ have only the space of about an A4 sheet of paper.
• 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.
