*[Enwl-eng] The UK must ban these cruel cages for animals now

[enwl]

                        Battery cages cause pain and suffering.









                        The UK Promised to Prioritize Animal Welfare. Now 
It's Planning the Opposite. Ban Battery Cage Eggs Now!

                        As the UK continues to navigate its exit from the 
European Union and enter new trading arrangements, there's a real danger 
that animals will end up paying a hefty — and cruel — price.

                        Right now, the UK is preparing to enter a new trade 
deal that would allow it to import eggs produced in horrifying battery cage 
conditions.



                        In this system, handlers lock multiple hens into 
tiny cages together, to the point where they can't move, stretch their 
wings, or take care of themselves. It's not a natural way to live, and 
needless to say, creates intense psychological stress as well as physical 
diseases.



                        Not only are battery cages horribly brutal for the 
animals imprisoned inside them, they're also not healthy for humans. In 
these cramped, filthy conditions, infections spread rapidly — contaminating 
human food sources.



                        That's why battery cages are falling out of favor 
around the world, including in the European Union, which has voted to ban 
them.



                        Sign the petition to demand the UK reverse this plan 
and instead ban battery egg imports!




                 Thank you,

                        P.S. The UK government has an opportunity to show 
its people that it will uphold animal welfare standards to the highest 
level, even after Brexit. Demand action!
