Farrowing Crates

EDM number 1153 in 2003-04, proposed by Alan Meale on 10/05/2004.

That this House expresses its concern about the continued use of farrowing crates for the nursing of pregnant sows in the UK; is alarmed that current legislation still allows such medieval practices for farm livestock, which imprisons pigs for up to 28 days when they give birth, restricting their body movements and strong maternal instincts and thus causing such animals unnecessary stress and pain; and calls upon the Government to end such barbaric cruelty forthwith.

This motion has been signed by a total of 60 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
