How about tail docking?It has been illegal in the netherlands at least since 2008.Also illegal in Belgium and Germany but don't know from when. What is illegal is the act of caponizing not the sale of caponized chickens. Therefore you can still get capon de bresse on the market for example, obviously imported from countries where it is still legal.
European countries have made a lot of progress on animal welfare protection. For example clipping puppy's ear is now illegal almost across EU.
