What you can do!
If these stories have touched you in any way, and you would like to do something about it, there are things you can do.
Eat less meat and eggs and only those from free- range farms
Check the contents of food containing eggs to make sure they are cage-free
Many ready meals and prepared products like sauces, cakes and pastas do not contain free-range eggs but eggs from battery hens. Make sure you only buy those products that contain eggs from free-range chickens.
Spread the word
Don't underestimate the power of just talking to your friends, family and colleagues about animal welfare. Spreading the word can really help raise awareness.
