CAAF: Consultation with UK Voters for Animals

​The UK government is about to release a consultation on banning cages for hens. Want to help shape animal welfare policy?

​Join us for session where we'll:

• ​Fill out the consultation together (takes ~20 mins)

• ​Discuss what this policy change means for UK animal welfare

• ​Enjoy free food!

​Hosted by EA Cambridge x UK Voters for Animals.

​No prep needed. Bring your laptop if you can.

​This is being run in collaboration with the Cambridge Animal Advocacy Forum (CAAF), a new society aimed at advancing and platforming the cause for animal rights and welfare.

​More context on the consultation:
The Animal Welfare Strategy for England was published in December, and the Government has already released two consultations which we will be completing:

​​🐓 Cage reform: proposed ban on keeping laying hens, pullets and breeder layers in cages One of the most significant potential improvements for egg-laying hens in the UK, affecting 7 million hens at any time. Guide here if you can't make the session

​​🐑 Lamb welfare: proposed changes to castration and tail docking methods - We won't cover this in the 20 minutes, but you can see the guide to filling this consultation here (content warning).
