The Conference on Animal Rights in Europe (CARE)

https://www.careconf.eu/

The Conference on Animal Rights in Europe (CARE) is an international conference aimed at connecting and inspiring animal rights groups throughout Europe. Through workshops and networking opportunities, all groups can come together and empower each other to establish the best possible directions for the animal rights movement to take.
The conference is a chance to meet and grow with organizations and individuals both new and established. By supporting each other through discussion and debate, the animal rights movement can evolve, strengthen, and solidify. While the movement may be made up of individuals, we believe that coming together to meet minds, exchange ideas, and share strategies strengthens the cause as a whole.
This forum is open to those within and without the animal rights movement. This is an extremely critical time for the cause – as more inhumane industry sweeps across Europe, more action and education is necessary. Animals are not the only ones who benefit from this cause – humans and the environment do too. We encourage powerful activists and participants from all realms to participate in the event.

The European Union has Directorate-Generals in charge of many different important issues -- except when it comes to animal welfare.

Appoint a Directorate-General Who Will Stand Up for Animals!

please share

it helps!

Dear Manfred,

Throughout the European Union, animals are still in grave danger. Millions are crammed into trucks or onto ships, alive and terrified, to be taken to the slaughterhouses of foreign countries. Creatures in fur farms live their entire lives in tiny cages before being brutally killed. And welfare laws vary greatly from country to country, meaning that a cat or dog who's safe in one nation might be murdered without consequence in the next.

Clearly, there needs to be an authority figure who will enforce animal protection throughout the entire European Union. And that's where a Directorate-General comes in.

There are already Directorate-Generals appointed to cover a variety of important issues, including matters of humanitarian aid, the economy and the environment -- but as of now, there is no one to stand up on behalf of the EU's animals.

The EU's own treaty states that animals are sentient beings and should be treated with compassion. But without proper enforcement, those regulations are nothing but lip service.

The EU needs to take responsibility for keeping animals safe throughout its member countries. Ask EU leaders to appoint a Directorate-General of Animal Welfare immediately.
