Petition
Carinthians say a clear no to lab-grown meat
Petition was a great success: more than 43,000 signatures were collected against lab-grown meat.
In April, as reported, the Carinthian Chamber of Agriculture mobilized against lab-grown meat in stores and on plates: Over the past six months, signatures have now been collected against artificially bred meat as part of a petition. "The result is overwhelming. The goal was 25,000 signatures. Now we have 43,625," says Carinthia's Chamber of Agriculture President Siegfried Huber.
Ban at federal level
As part of the signature campaign, people were also informed about lab-grown meat and why a ban had to be imposed at federal level. "The result is an unequivocal vote against lab-grown meat," said Martin Gruber, Vice-President of the Provincial Council and Agriculture Officer.
Ultimately, however, the approval of lab-grown meat will be decided at EU level. "That is why our goal must be for Austria to form an alliance against lab-grown meat together with other European countries," explains Gruber.
The case against lab-grown meat
There are several reasons for saying no to lab-grown meat. Firstly, there is no evidence of how the consumption of lab-grown meat affects people. In addition, the production of lab-grown meat is extremely energy-intensive.
The approval of lab-grown meat on the market also only benefits large corporations. The rapidly produced and large quantities of meat put pressure on domestic, small-scale agriculture.
