John,

The pig industry locks mother pigs into metal cages so tight they cannot turn around. These intelligent animals, who sing to their newborns and form deep bonds, are immobilized during the most important moment of their lives.

Right now, we have a once-in-a-generation chance to finally ban these cruel cages, as the European Union is revising its animal welfare laws.

If we create massive public pressure, lawmakers can be pushed to end this cruel practice for good. But the window to act is closing fast. We need thousands of us backing this call right now.

Add your name to demand an end to cages for mother pigs.

Pigs are as emotionally complex as dogs — they build nests, hum to their babies, and recognize each piglet by voice. Yet when confined in farrowing crates, they are stripped of these natural behaviors and suffer physical and psychological distress.

The industry claims these cages prevent piglet crushing. But the reality is far more brutal: the pig industry uses them to crowd more animals into less space to squeeze out more profit. And this cruelty is entirely avoidable. Humane alternatives already exist across Europe, proving farmers can transition without compromising safety or viability.

After years of public pressure, the European Union committed to phasing out cruel cages like farrowing crates. But that promise has been delayed countless times—and unless it is written clearly into the new animal welfare law, it could be weakened or abandoned altogether.

This is our moment: the chance to hold lawmakers accountable and force an end to these cruel cages once and for all. That’s why we must act now. Every signature piles pressure on policymakers, and if enough of us speak out together, we can create an outcry so powerful they will have no choice but to listen.

Sign now to tell the European Union to end farrowing crates and end this cruel practice for good.
