Many attendees of today's Committee of Agriculture and Rural Development asked Commissioner for Health and #AnimalWelfare, Olivér Várhelyi, to prove his commitment to animals by delivering on issues like a ban on cages and #FurFarming.

A big thanks to those who spoke up and called for progress! 👏

Stop Fur Farming in Europe Add your name to our open letter to Commissioner Várhelyi in support of a complete ban on fur farming and the trade in fur products across the EU.
