I strongly oppose factory farming, including battery egg production.

Cage egg production is incredibly cruel. Layer hens are crammed in cages so small they can’t stretch their wings or perform natural instincts like scratching the ground, perching, dust bathing, roosting, socialising, rearing their young or nesting. They never go outside, exercise, breathe fresh air or see sunlight. Artificial light is used to increase their production of eggs. They experience intense ongoing mental and physical suffering for their entire life.

I understand Coles commenced a phase-out in 2013 and Woolworths and Aldi committed to banning the sale of all caged eggs by 2025. But that is too long and too far in the future. We need action now, if you want our business.
