News and current affairs

In the early 1970's, when the modern animal-liberation movement began, no major organization was campaigning against the battery cage.

It took a concerted effort by the new animal radicals of the 1970's to stir the RSPCA from its complacency towards the battery cage and other forms of intensive animal rearing.

The European Union established a scientific committee to investigate animal-welfare issues on farms, and the committee recommended banning the battery cage, along with some other forms of close confinement of pigs and calves.
