  • The severe confinement of hens in wire cages where they are unable to spread their wings, exercise or perform natural behaviours - resulting in physical and mental suffering.
  • The debeaking of chicks where up to one half of the upper beak and one third of the lower beak are cut off to stop caged hens pecking each other.
  • Nerves reach to the tip of the beak, so this mutilation is extremely painful and is chronic to some birds.
Cruelty Offences:
  • Causing an animal unnecessary pain
  • Failing to provide adequate exercise
Victims
  • 11 million laying hens
