IS YOUR COUNCIL A 'GOOD EGG'?

What type of life will they have? More and more British councils are now choosing to do the right thing and only source eggs from hens in cage-free systems. Compassion was delighted to see the total number of cage-free councils pass 60 this February, which is a fantastic milestone.

Compassion launched the cage-free council campaign in 2007 and our supporters have achieved great success in lobbying their councils to go cage-free. So far, these leading councils have implemented policies freeing thousands of hens from a life in a cage every year. You could change the lives of thousands more hens by sending just one email.

PERSUADE YOUR LOCAL COUNCILS TO GO CAGE-FREE

Some councils may need a nudge of encouragement to switch to cage-free eggs. Compassion supporter Marian Hussenbux, simply wrote to her council and asked some of her friends to do the same. This resulted in Wirral Council committing to use free-range eggs in all council catering – including schools. This fantastic move was reported by the regional BBC news, several local papers and celebrated at Compassion’s Good Egg Awards in the Palace of Westminster last year.
