Battery cage phase-out long overdue and far too slow
Australian Greens Deputy Leader and Animal Welfare spokesperson Senator Mehreen Faruqi has said that today’s announced Australian poultry standards, which will phase-out battery cages, are long overdue but provide a far too lengthy transition period out to 2036.
Senator Faruqi said:
“The industry has had more than enough time to move away from battery cages. We now need some real action.
