Σας μεταφέρουμε ανακοίνωση που λάβαμε απο τη Διεθνη  Ανθρωπιστική Κοινότητα  Υποστηριξης Ζώων της Φάρμας...

16 January 2012 Dear Aggelos, We’re a few weeks into the New Year now--how are your  resolutions going? Unfortunately, some EU Member States are not doing well  on one of theirs: improving the welfare of pigs by moving  all breeding pigs into group housing systems. A Directive  was adopted in 2001 to ban individual sow stalls from 1st  January 2013 onwards. However, with just 350 days to  comply, some producers still have a long way to go. Sign our petition to Commissioner Dalli urging him to ensure this  Directive is fully implemented throughout the EU before the deadline. Sows’ movement in stalls is so restricted, they cannot even turn around for  their entire gestation period of nearly four months. These intelligent, inquisitive  animals are practically immobilised, unable to express their natural range of  complex social, foraging, and exploratory behaviour. The barren stalls also  lead to behavioural and health problems such as bar biting, foot and leg disorders,  and infections. Help to remind pig producers and EU decision-makers that the clock is ticking  away and they must comply with the Pigs Directive by 1st January 2013. The   legislation is an important measure that can reduce suffering for thousands  of pigs, but it only helps if it is properly implemented. We need your help—join  us in the call to make sure these animal welfare measures are  implemented on schedule. Sign today----speaking up for these intelligent and sensitive animals is a  resolution you can meet and cross off your list right now! Thank you for taking action and for all you do for the animals, Sincerely, Andrew Rowan President and CEO Humane Society International
