    Compassion in World Farming - Polish government to postpone cage ban?

    No of course not. It's all down to money, isn't it?

      I am just jibbering with anger at this!
      I have emailed the DEFRA man but have little hopes that it will have any impact. It just defies belief

                I've emailed too but I'm not hopeful about the result. Poland are wanting to delay until 2017 instead of 2012. Am I being cynical or realistic?

                  It was the bit where they said 'battery farmers have only had seven years to sort themselves out, and its not long enough'
                  If any other business took that long to get sorted they'd have been put out of business..
                  unless they were a bank or part of the government of course.

                    A battery ban? Don't be so silly That can't happen...

                    A really annoying thing that can't be dealt with It would be like trying to ban tobacco and cigarettes now!!! For some people it'd be

                    For as long a there is a demand, there will be a supply

                      WOW!!!! I've just received this from Compassion in World Farming:

                      Dear Maureen,

                      Great news: Yesterday the EU Council of Agriculture Ministers rejected Poland's attempt to delay the Europe-wide ban on barren battery cages. As a result, the ban is still due to come into force as planned in 2012.

                      Thank you to the 10,214 dedicated Compassion supporters across Europe who lobbied on our behalf by sending emails, post cards and letters - once again, you have shown that we can get things done for farm animals when speaking with a united voice. This latest campaign also reiterates the need to be vigilant about the threats that remain, even when victories such as the forthcoming battery cage ban have been gained. Whatever the challenge, Compassion will continue to take decisive action until the battery cage ban is fully implemented across Europe.

                      Thank you for your support; we share this victory with you.

                            Yep, that was my first email this morning. I'm glad the EU are standing up to them.
