Can you imagine the angst of spending your whole life in a crowded cage, in which you can barely stretch and walk?
This is how the majority of hens exploited for eggs in Indonesia live.
Autogrill HMS Host is committed to going
cage-free by 2025, but they haven’t fulfilled their promise yet. Help us hold them accountable.

ASK AUTOGRILL TO KEEP THEIR PROMISE:
Five seconds of your time can make a huge difference for animals.
Why do we need to get rid of cages?
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.
