Be a Hero for Hens

You can help put an end to one of the most inhumane practices in Canadian farming by choosing to buy only cage-free eggs.

Nearly all of Canada's eggs come from hens in battery cages. Crammed together with five or six others in tiny cages, the hens aren't able to move, stretch their wings or nest. They live their entire lives in a space no bigger than a sheet of notebook paper.

Hens don't have to be caged to produce lots of eggs. There are cage-free alternatives available in grocery stores across the country.

For your health, the environment and to save these hens from a life of cruelty, it is time to switch to compassionate and sustainable eating. Join the growing number of Canadians who at home, at school, at work or at the grocery store -- are taking the Cage-Free Pledge!
