Millions of hens still suffer every day in cages. Please add your voice to call on the UK Governments to end this once and for all.

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. 

The only way to stop this suffering is for the UK Governments to ban this outdated practice once and for all. The UK is a nation of animal lovers and we’ve shown time and again that we want better protections for animals.

Sign this petition to tell the UK Governments that they must ban cages for all laying hens by 2026. 

 

Beatrice's story

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 by Mia, an animal welfare specialist at The Humane League.

When she was rescued, Beatrice was in a heartbreaking condition. She was missing feathers all over her body:

Slowly but surely, she began her recovery in her new home. With fresh air, space, and love, she grew into such a friendly, curious hen. She loved playing in the garden with Mia's family and the other hens, and she’d often stand by Mia's feet, chatting away. Her feathers grew back beautiful and luscious too.

Beatrice in the garden

Beatrice sadly passed away recently, after spending her final months enjoying a life full of freedom and love with Mia. 

No hen deserves to be confined to a cage. In Beatrice's name we are continuing the fight to end cruel cages in the UK. Will you stand with us?
