Background

We believe enriched and colony cages are unfair for hens that live in them for their entire lives.

Additional details

We feel they are inhumane and limit their ability to behave normally, such as running, perching, and dustbathing. We believe that they should therefore be banned, in order to safeguard the welfare of hens.
