Belgium, (Brussels Morning Newspaper) The European Union has been urged to shut down factory farming in order to mitigate the impacts from the current energy crisis.
The demand was made on Thursday by several EU-wide animal welfare campaign organisations.
A joint statement urges the EU to shut down intensive animal farming as part of an “effective strategy” to mitigate the energy crisis, a measure that, is is claimed, would go “hand in hand” with EU’s climate and public health commitments
The three groups – BirdLife Europe and Central Asia, Compassion in World Farming and the European Environmental Bureau and Four Paws – also aimed their message at EU member states.
