Most Canadians oppose battery cages, but most egg-laying hens continue to suffer. In these cages, birds have no room to move around or spread their wings, wire hurts their feet, and healthy birds are forced to share their space with sick and dead animals.
A new Mercy for Animals undercover video exposes the terrible lives of abused hens in battery cages. In a national survey, the vast majority of Canadians believe the government should ban battery cages, and that cage-free eggs are worth the extra cost.
Please sign the petition to urge the National Farm Animal Care Council to work towards banning battery cages in Canada!
I am concerned that most egg-laying hens continue to suffer in battery cages. In these cages, birds have no room to move around or spread their wings, wire hurts their feet, and healthy birds are forced to share their space with sick and dead animals.

I respectfully urge you to stand up for egg-laying hens and the wishes of Canadian citizens, and work towards banning battery cages in Canada. Thank you for taking the time to read and consider this petition.
