Did you know? EU citizens have the right to offer the EU Commission feedback about new EU policies and existing laws. And now, until the 3rd of April you can give feedback on its new Proposal on the Protection of Animals during Transport.

This is your opportunity to use your voice for those who don't have one.

Express your discontent with the proposal’s failure to omit a ban on live exports from the EU – a practice subjecting animals to excruciatingly torturous journeys, often ending in a cruel and painful slaughter upon arrival.
