Thanks to the work of Compassion in World Farming.

Indeed! Every small step is better than no step at all.

I know of one farmer locally here in France who has stopped pig farming all together because of the costs involved in changing over to the new system - and I've heard of many doing the same in France.

This will ultimately mean less pork being produced and prices going up. But I'm not going to weep for the farmers or the consumers. Compassion is supreme. Such cruel methods of farming should never have been permitted in the first place.

To be honest, I'm not a great fan of EU bureaucracy, but in this case - hoorah!
