===European Union=== As of 2016, The European Union legislation has required that pigs be given environmental enrichment, specifically they must have permanent access to a sufficient quantity of material to enable proper investigation and manipulation activities.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32016H0336|title=COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION (EU) 2016/336|website=EUR-Lex.europa.eu|date=9 March 2016 |access-date=11 October 2017}}</ref> Under the legislation tail docking may only be used as a last resort. The law provides that farmers must first take measures to improve the pigs' conditions and, only where these have failed to prevent tail biting, may they tail dock.<ref name=ciwf08>{{cite web|url=http://www.ciwf.org.uk/resources/publications/pig_farming/default.aspx|title=Species: pigs - Compassion in World Farming|website=Ciwf.org.uk|access-date=28 July 2017}}</ref>
