Let's move towards an era definitely without cages!

The sufferance of life in a cage

More than 300 million hens and chickens, pigs and sows, cows and oxen are born, suffer, breed and die in tiny cages across Europe. They will never feel the grass under their feet, they will never be able to frolic and play, they will never see the sun above their heads through the young leaves of spring, nor will they root around freely through the dead leaves...

One Voice is one of 130 European associations supporting the Initiative of Citizens of European (ICE) launched by CIWF with a great fanfare in Brussels at the end of September 2018.

This ICE is a procedure that allows the European population to draw the attention of its representatives to a subject that is particularly dear to their heart, and gives it a chance to influence decisions. It is one of the participatory democracy tools of the European Union. For this, an authenticated signature is required. The approach is more framed than signing a petition, but the principle is the same and the data is secure, of course and destroyed at the end of the process.

We need everyone to get involved !

At least one million Europeans must sign ICE to have a chance to permanently put an end to cages, and this throughout the European Union. What a step forward it would be!

It remains barely a few months to reach the million signatures, and in France we are still too few who have signed! This is a cause that must go far beyond our circles of influence and flood the entire population! So less than six months from the end of the signature collection period, it is high time to commit, please sign and get this initiative signed around you, online or in print!

Everyone should commit to living a life without animals. It's a decent life that we have to offer them. It's really the bare minimum ...
