MEPs are facing a crucial vote on an amendment to a draft European regulation which proposes to ban the routine, purely preventative use of antibiotics in factory farming.
Together, we can encourage key MEPs to vote in favour of strong measures to curb antibiotic use in farm animals, and for kinder farming systems which reduce the need for drugs in the first place.
We are on the brink of a major human health crisis. Decades of abusing precious antibiotics in human and animal medicine have driven us towards a terrifying future where drugs will no longer work, and where routine operations and infections can once again kill.
