Our demands in detail

We call for

At a rate of 50% of the existing number of farm animals each year – starting from the year that the requirement and the necessary directive are transposed in each Member State – and to progressively close all animal farms.

2. gradually reduce the number of farmed animals

Including plant-based milk and egg substitutes, and for the production of cultivated meat, as well as for research into increasingly ‘clean’ and ‘ethical’ production of cultivated meat, thereby improving animal welfare and helping to protect the environment and public health.

1. incentives for the production of plant proteins

Why should EU do this?

Violation of Animal Rights

Factory farming and slaughterhouses contradict the 1978 Universal Declaration of Animal Rights and the Treaty of Lisbon, which recognize animals as sentient beings with equal rights to life and welfare.

Public Health Threat

These facilities pose ongoing health risks by contributing to the spread of pandemics (e.g., avian influenza, salmonella) due to poor hygiene and overcrowded conditions, acting as "ticking time bombs."

Pandemic Prevention

Reducing animal farming can help prevent future pandemics by limiting the risk of zoonotic diseases, as large-scale farms increase the likelihood of disease spillover to humans.

Ethical Food Production

Shifting towards plant-based and cultivated meat alternatives can improve public health and animal welfare, aligning food production with cleaner and more ethical standards.

Antibiotic Resistance and Hygiene Risks

Intensive farming practices contribute to antibiotic resistance and pose significant risks due to poor hygiene, increasing the spread of dangerous bacteria like salmonella.

Economic Shift Through Incentives

EU subsidies should transition from supporting animal husbandry to promoting plant-based proteins and cultivated meat, encouraging more sustainable and humane food systems.

Together we can end animal exploitation
