Moving toward selling only Cage-Free Eggs for Consumers and Animal Welfare
Many brands and supermarkets are beginning to place greater importance on animal welfare.
As customers, we hope to see Villa Market take the next step by increasing availability and moving toward selling only cage-free eggs across all branches — making these better choices easier to access and more visible for everyone, because better choices for animals should be accessible to all.

A better choice for consumers and for hens should be accessible in every branch
WHY CAGES ARE CRUEL
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 consequence in some chickens is that it generates neuromas with chronic pain throughout their lives.
