The issue

The Australian caged egg industry, is responsible for the incarceration of over 12 million chickens, in cages no larger than 76 square inches, a standard A4 sheet of paper measures 94 square inches. Those who live within the confines of these cage are destined to a life of pain and suffering, they will be forced to endure untreated broken bones, mutilated beaks and the sharing of cages with their diseased counterparts. They will live this nightmare for their entire existence, a mere 18 months, at which point, they are deemed useless and without ever experiencing sunshine, are carted off to slaughter.

In an effort to save millions of chickens from a life of misery and torture, we implore the Government of South Australia to lead the nation in animal rights by prohibiting the production and sale of caged eggs, within South Australia.
