Take action for egg-laying hens

You can make a difference

There are several things you can do individually or as a group to help improve the lives of millions of hens.

Top action:

• Support the Big Move Campaign

  In January 2012, the ban on the barren battery cage came in to force across the European Union. Around 250 million egg laying hens have already benefited. Sadly a number of member states were not ready on time for the ban, resulting in around 47 million hens still being kept in illegal cages. Through The Big Move we campaign to address this cruelty, bringing pressure on those breaking the law, and work to ensure all nations comply with the ban, ending the use of this inhumane system.
