Jamie Oliver's recent TV series in the UK called "Fowl Dinners" - showed how chickens live and die before reaching our dinner plate.  This horrifying wake-up call, changed the shopping habits of many UK people overnight.  Free range chickens flew off the shelves, and 3 major supermarkets banished battery hens.  read more about the current situation in the uk

* What your signature can do :

We need to drive the battery egg into extinction!

Exactly 20 years ago there wasn't a single free range egg on the market, but more and more consumers are demanding that their food is produced in a cruel-free and dignified way (see the latest issue of Animal Voice at www.animal-voice.org for the history of free range eggs)

With your help we can ensure that before long, there will be no battery eggs available for sale as all eggs will be produced in an ethical and humane manner.
