INJUSTICE ADVENT CALENDAR DAY EIGHT - END CAGE BIRD INJUSTICE

Beatrice the hen was raised in a cage, with barely room to spread her wings. Dimly lit, noisy and crowded, every day was filled with frustration and misery. 

She was one of the lucky ones. Beatrice was rescued from her cage and is now living her best life with other rescued hens. But right now, there are millions suffering like she did.

More and more restaurants and supermarkets are promising to end cages in their supply chains. But even when their commitments are fulfilled, eggs from caged hens will still be used in many industries and up to 8 million hens will still be caged in the UK every year.

Cages are cruel and outdated. The Humane League UK is calling on the UK Governments to introduce a legal ban on caging hens, so no hen has to suffer like Beatrice did.
