As South African farmers suffer the horrendous loss of flocks due to over-heating as a result of load-shedding and faulty generators, now is the time to change to barn eggs and join New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Mexico, Israel and other countries in a phase-out of cages.

PETITION TO SUPERMARKETS
AROUND SOUTH AFRICA

We, your customers, appeal for supermarket support in phasing out eggs laid by hens cruelly confined in battery cages.
We appeal for supermarkets to assist the transition away from cage-eggs by replacing them with barn eggs, clearly labelled as ‘barn eggs’, as a matter of urgency.
