Prague, 19 May 2008 February 2020 – Pirate Members today tried to push amendments on cage farming, the mutilation of the wings of pups of birds and the vase-bound housing steers on the Agricultural Committee and the Committee on the Environment, which would direct Czech agriculture to the 21st century.

Century. However, a very fundamental proposal for the abolition of cage farms has not been passed by either committee thanks to the YES vote. Similarly, the Agricultural Committee did not support the ban on the mutilation of pups of birds. Only the pirate MP Jan Pošvář managed to enforce the ban on the prison from 2030, which will apply without exception. "Thanks to this proposal, animal welfare outweighs the property interests of breeders," explains the pirate MP Jan Pošvář." Yes colleagues from the Agricultural Committee do not want clear rules for breeders and want them to continue to hope in vain that the transformation will not happen, even if it is inevitable, both from the point of view of the chains and from the public's point of view. This threatens our economy. I will try to explain it to them at second reading in the Chamber of Deputies," said Jan Pošvář, the petitioner of the amendment, which would ban cage-raising hens from 2027.Unfortunately, members of the Agricultural Committee did not support the vice-chairman's proposal The Agricultural Committee of Radek Holomčík, which proposed a ban on the mutilation of pups of birds." I am very sorry that this proposal did not pass. It's absurd that we want to stop birds from flying. It's like we want to stop the fish from swimming," commented Radek Holomčík. The current legislation allows you to mutilate wings within three days.
