Five years ago today, the @ec.europa.eu committed to deliver proposals to #EndtheCageAge, but so far, it has failed to deliver on its promise. So we took action in Brussels with @ciwf.eu, @anima-int.bsky.social & the EtCA coalition, urging the EU to deliver proposals to #EndtheCageAge 📣

For years, "welfarists" and "abolitionists" were two opposing camps in animal advocacy. New @sandcastlesblog.bsky.social post traces how this started to change. How does this false dichotomy hinder us and what should we focus on instead? ⬇️ sandcastlesblog.substack.com/p/winners-ch... #animalrights
