The European Parliament voted at its plenary session in Strasbourg against linking pollution from factory farming to biodiversity loss and the worsening climate crisis, but also turned a blind eye to the blow to human rights. The European Parliament has once again bowed to pressure from the animal industry lobby. As a result, the factory farms will be allowed to continue their operations, reinforcing an unsustainable food system and striking a blow against human rights, including the right to live in a clean environment.
The animal industry lobby, including Copa Cogeca, convinced decision-makers to exclude cow farming and other large industrial farms from EU emissions regulations. Today’s vote has strengthened the business-as-usual position and is another effective win for the meat and dairy lobby.
