The animal rights NGO Equalia launches the impressive and ambitious European campaign in Spain No animal is left behind (of English, No Animal Left Behind). The main objective of this campaign is to urge the European Commission to raise your level of ambition when reviewing animal welfare legislationas part of the European strategy From farm to table.

The bell No animal is left behind with focuses on a number of key elements that the European Commission should prioritize in its review, such as ensuring the good health of the animals, providing them with sufficient space, prohibiting the transport of live animals, allowing them to live in conditions that allow them to perform their natural behaviorsprovide them with adequate nutrition, allow them to enjoy life and expand the legislation to include all species.

2023 crucial for farm animals
The animal NGO highlights that the year 2023 is crucial for farm animals, since in October the European Commission will present its revision of the legislation on animal welfare, which will impact hundreds of millions of sentient beings throughout the European Union. Among the possible novelties, the prohibition of cages from 2027 for laying hens, sows, calves, rabbits, quail, ducks, geese and other animals intended for human consumption is proposed.
This prohibition would also affect animals imported into the EU and would regulate aspects of transport to guarantee optimal conditions and prevent them from suffering from hunger, thirst, cold or heat during the trip.. The ultimate goal is phase out cages on all farms in the European Unioneradicating inhumane facilities that perpetuate animal suffering.
The bell No animal is left behind seeks that the new legislation is ambitious enough to guarantee animal welfare. Until now, numerous complaints and investigations by the organization against animal abuse have revealed what animals across Europe continue to suffer in factory farming systems, due to legislative loopholes or lack of precision in existing laws that should protect them. In this sense, Equalia highlights the important work carried out until the approval, in August 2022, of the Royal Decree on video surveillance in slaughterhouses in Spainabecoming
