DID YOU KNOW THAT THE EGGS YOU CONSUME COULD
BE LINKED
TO CRUELTY?
Behind the meals and treats we buy are millions of hens crammed into tiny battery cages (smaller than an A4 sheet of paper), unable to move freely or see sunlight, forced to produce the eggs that make our favourite foods.
​
Several companies have publicly pledged to transition to 100% cage-free eggs by 2025. But in Southeast Asia, especially Thailand, progress has stalled and transparency is missing. The pledges are there. The action is not.
​
While these companies have been informed about the cruelty of battery cages and have pledged to take action, most have failed to provide updates.
When promises fail, heroes act - that's you.
Millennium Hotels and Resorts, the global brand of Millennium & Copthorne Hotels PLC, has committed to sourcing 100% cage-free eggs across its global hotel operations by 2025, supporting animal welfare and sustainable sourcing.
To date, no publicly available updates or reports have been found regarding progress toward achieving this commitment.

A day in the life of millions of laying hens
Lack of space
Up to 12 hens can be crammed together into one small cage. This usually means each one of them has a space smaller than an A4 sheet of paper to spend their whole lives in.
Frustration
They cannot express their natural behaviors, such as spreading their wings, walking freely, or nesting.
This deprivation leads them to feel constantly frustrated.
Pain
They tend to have bone diseases such as osteoporosis, making them prone to fractures and deformations. They stand on the cage metal grid, which hurts their feet.
Death
Sometimes, dead hens are left to rot for days, forcing the surviving hens to live next to the decaying bodies of their peers. Sanitary conditions are also deplorable. Hens are often kept in tiny cages with their droppings accumulating beneath them.
Public health
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has concluded that cage systems have a higher prevalence of Salmonella compared to cage-free systems.
Beak trimming
Trimming chicken beaks is a common practice in the egg industry. The consequences in some chickens is that it generates neuromas with chronic pain throughout their lives.
