WHY YOUR COMPANY SHOULD CARE
The majority of 150 million chickens used for producing commercial eggs in Indonesia spend their lives in tiny cage wire also known as “battery cage”. In these cages, they are forced to live their lives without being able to move or fully spread their wings. They live a terrible, sad life without freedom, under constant pressure.
Battery cages are considered as the most controversial and cruel animal cage by animal welfare experts. Each cage contains 5 to 10 chickens, and each hen has a living space that smaller than a A4 sheet. Many of them didn’t survive and the ones that do often forced to share that tiny space with their dead friends.
Lack of movement weakens chickens’ bones that kept in battery cages and they can suffer from broken bones and more severe disease osteoporosis.
Because of the cruelty of this system, conventional battery cages are forbidden in Uni Europe, Bhutan, New Zealand and some states in America. Canada also committed to gradually ending this type of cages.
Research from scientists prove that chickens have complex cognitive, emotions and socials like other poultry and other mammals. They can get a complex emotions, like fear, stress, joy and empathy.
