"I voted in favour of this very weak report because, in spite of everything, it entails improvements in most countries and is concerned with minimal legislation, which means that we are allowed to have more stringent rules. Our amendments concerning reduced stocking density were extremely sensible compromises which received almost unanimous support in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety. It is tragic that these were not adopted. Parliament is supporting short-term interests instead of humane animal husbandry that consumers can rely on, and by acting in this way it is not doing the industry any favours. I voted in favour of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development’s proposal for a stocking density not exceeding 34 kg by 2013 for the sole reason that it is better than the original proposal. With quite a few of the countries represented on the Council wishing to exceed 38 kg, it will be possible to invoke this proposal against the Council. The European Parliament does, in any case, indicate a different direction that might be taken.
Chickens will continue to suffer more than any other animals. How we treat our animals says a lot about how developed our civilisation is. On this matter, we are shown to be barbarians."@en1
