請願書の宛先： Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner points out that the current spread of COVID-19 has shown that dangerous pathogens can develop and spread in the animal industry. She further claims that the extensive use of antibiotics in animals is one of the most important causes for the development of antibiotic-resistant pathogens. The petitioner, therefore, calls on Member States and the EU to: -inform the population about the risks of diseases and virus mutations in the animal industries as well as about the dangers of the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria by the animal industries; - immediately adopt measures to protect EU citizens from pandemics, including the closure of slaughterhouses, butchers, breeding and fattening companies as well as the import ban for animal products; - adopt strict measures against food waste and promote state subsidies for vegetable farming; - inform about the connections between the animal industry and climate change.
