European campaign launched to 'end livestock farming'

It is the 115th European citizens' initiative since the mechanism was launched in 2012.

The "Stop Cruelty Stop Slaughter" initiative calls for incentives for producing plant proteins, including plant-based milk and egg substitutes and cultivated meat.

Organisers of the "Stop Cruelty Stop Slaughter" campaign have six months to collect at least one million statements of support for progressively closing all livestock farms, after the European Commission registered their campaign as a new European citizens' initiative.

It is the 115th initiative since the European Citizens' Initiative was launched in 2012.
