Broken Cage-Free Promises: Demand Transparency Now!

The Issue

Hens need your help right away! Major global companies in the hospitality, restaurant, and manufacturing industries are profiting off of empty promises and animal abuse.

Norwegian Cruise Line - a major hospitality company - made a promise to go 100% cage-free 9 years ago, but they are still hiding where a substantial portion of their eggs are sourced. They are the only major cruise line not being fully transparent. 

Hundreds of companies around the world are ditching cages and have the reports to prove it. It is unacceptable that Norwegian Cruise Line  refuses to be transparent about their global progress! Did they knowingly deceive customers in order to continue profiting off of the cruelty they said they would end?

Cages are a nightmare for hens and are undeniably cruel. Cages are so small, and packed with birds, that the hens can’t move or spread their wings. Often, their body parts are caught in the caging, resulting in fractured or broken bones, deformities, and severe feather loss. Some hens, exhausted or unable to move, are trampled to death by their confined cage mates. Hens in these cages are forced to live, breathe, and lay eggs for human consumption while trapped amongst feces and rotting bodies. 

These global companies know all about the cruel, dangerous conditions of cages and promised their consumers that they would put an end to this animal abuse. So why haven’t they publicly published any meaningful global progress on ending cages throughout their supply chains? What are they hiding from the public? 

Demand answers and accountability by joining us in signing this petition so that we can tell these untrustworthy companies to stop misleading consumers and falling behind their competitors, and to start reporting global cage-free progress now!
