When Clare Druce founded the campaign group, Chickens’ Lib, with her mother in the 1970s, almost nobody was talking about the plight of hens in cages.
But in the decades that followed, Clare blazed a trail, fighting against the intense cruelty that chickens experience on factory farms in the UK.
Now, in 2025, thanks to the campaigning of Clare and caring people like you, the use of cruel cages is rapidly declining. 4 in 5 hens are now free from cages in the UK - a huge increase on just a decade ago.
But, despite how far we’ve come, bosses at Farmfoods are now standing in the way of progress.
While every other major supermarket has a cage-free commitment, Farmfoods bosses have dropped theirs - putting over 100,000 hens at risk of lives trapped in dark, cramped cages.
It’s a shocking move, but I know that, together, we can stop it.
Nearly 50,000 compassionate people like you have now signed this petition. Now I need your help to put pressure on Farmfoods bosses.
Will you use our easy action page to send them an email now, demanding they restore their cage-free promise?
Just a few months ago, we forced Iceland bosses into a u-turn after they tried to abandon their cage-free promise. I know we can win again if we apply enough pressure to bosses at Farmfoods.
For the animals,
Cordelia Britton, Head of Programs at The Humane League UK
