Latvian Parliament Rejects Ban on Cage-Raised Chickens
On Thursday, June 11, the Saeima rejected in the first reading the proposed amendments to the Animal Protection Law, which would have banned the keeping of laying hens in cages with a transition period until 2032.
The Latvian Saeima has voted against a proposal to outlaw the practice of keeping laying hens in cages. The legislation, which aimed to introduce a ban with a transition period extending to 2032, was rejected during its initial reading on Thursday, June 11. This decision means that current regulations regarding cage-raised chickens will remain in place for the foreseeable future.
The rejection of the proposed ban indicates that the current methods of housing laying hens will continue, impacting animal welfare standards and potentially the egg production industry.
