My names Yash and I'm petitioning Warner Leisure Hotels to stop using eggs from caged hens in their 13+ hotels across the UK, and I need your support!

As a Biochemical Engineer and Scientist, I was horrified to learn about the conditions in which hens in cages lay their eggs. Caged systems are unhygienic and overcrowded, often causing a plethora of mental and physical problems, including Osteoporosis, stress-induced aggression, fragile bones, deformities, and chronic pain. Cages prevent the chickens from acting upon their most natural, basic instincts.

The world and the food industry is changing. With an increasing number of companies, including Parkdean Resorts, Travelodge, and Premier Inn going cage-free, it is outrageous for Warner Leisure Hotels to continue to engage in the sourcing of eggs from thousands of chickens kept in cages with less than the area of an A4-sized page to spend their entire lives.

There are alternatives. Free-range systems are a small, reasonable step towards making our world a better place for hens. However, Warner seems to value archaic cruelty over human decency and compassion. Warner Leisure Hotels has failed to address customer complaints and improve its sourcing practices.

Together we can take small steps to make the lives of these beautiful birds better. Please join me and sign the petition to urge Warner Leisure Hotels to end its support of cage eggs.
