Animal rights activists demand humane treatment of newborn calves

Animal rights activists have called for humane treatment of calves. To attract the attention of politicians, activists from the "Invisible Animals" organization entered cages near the National Assembly and the presidency. They demanded legislative changes. According to the organization, in some of the largest industrial farms in Bulgaria, the calf is separated from its mother from the very birth and locked in a cage, where it spends months.

To stop this practice, "Invisible Animals" organised a petition that collected over 110,000 signatures and was submitted to the previous National Assembly, but did not reach legislative changes. Currently, 150,000 signatures have already been collected and livestock breeders and veterinarians also support the organization's request to remove the cages.
