Achieving the EU’s commitment to phasing out this appalling and iconic intensive system was one of the biggest farm animal welfare achievements of the 1990s. It is now under threat. Please help me raise funds for the vital work to thwart those countries like Poland who are trying to undermine the ban due to come into force next year. </span></p>
