Australians care about animals and expect them to be treated with compassion. We want a future where every hen can spread her wings, stretch her legs and stand on solid ground.

But this is not the reality for 1 in 3 hens across Australia. A powerful new global investigation has uncovered harrowing footage of hens trapped in battery cages, reviving the call to end the cage age for hens.  

Most state and territory governments have lagged on enacting the nationally agreed phase out of battery cages – leaving millions of hens to suffer. It’s time for them to act.

The national standard to phase out battery cages is ready to be implemented. State Agriculture Ministers just need to enact it in their state legislation.


Call for a battery cage phase out today.

Write to your state or territory Agriculture Minister, calling on them to introduce the phase-out legislation.
