More than 26 million egg-laying hens are crammed into tiny wire (battery) cages in Canada every year. They are given less space than a sheet of writing paper, barely enough room to move let alone flap even one wing. Their feathers chafe off from rubbing on each other or the bars of their cage. Kept in almost complete darkness for one to two years, their only escape is when they are transported to slaughter or killed on farm for compost.





But you can help end this torture. Take the Chicken Out! pledge. Sign this form and pledge to stop buying eggs from caged hens. Alternatives include certified organic, free-range, free-run or egg-free alternatives. Visit www.chickenout.ca for more details.





Once youve signed, let others know by adding the following signature to your email:





Ive pledged to help the Chicken Out! Have you?

On behalf of the hens, thank you.

    • This is an extremely important issue, as birds in fact do have feelings and are suffering under these terrible conditions. We have to advocate on behalf of animals as they cannot themselves.

    • A chicken is entitled to more living space than that of a piece of typing paper.

    • It's about time chickens were appreciated for who they are: living, sentient beings. If we are to have a future, we must start treating all species with some regard. At the present moment, chickens are treated with extreme cruelty. This must end.
