Ban Battery Cages in the United States

  • da: Ned Taylor
  • destinatario: U.S. President - Barack Obama

In the U.S., around 97 percent of egg laying hens are being trapped in small cramped "battery" cages according to the New York Times. Their lives consist of two years of misery, starting right when they're born. Acording to PETA around 5 - 11 hens are crammed into these tiny wire cages. On average each hen is given less space than a standard sheet of printed paper. These battery cages are stacked on top of each other, which allows urine and feces to fall onto hens in  the lower cages. When hens are living in thses cruel conditions they are unable to perform natural behaviours such as nesting, perching, dust-bathing, stretching their wings or even walking around. They also often suffer from feather loss and skin damage due to constant rubbing against the cage and other hens. Chickens are smart, social and sesitive animals that deserve a much better life than this. The use of Battery Cages is cruel and should not be allowed under federal law. This could easily be stopped by making it mandatory for hens to be raised in free run or free range barns with far more space per hen. Please sign and share this petition to tell America's president Barack Obama to put a ban on the use of battery cages.

For more information you can look at PETA's Report or The New York Times Report

Thank You
