Closed petition: Make it illegal to use "enriched" cages in farming

Closed on

Battery farming was banned in 2012, but enriched cages, which I do not think are much better, are still legal. In these cages hens only have a small amount of space added to the amount they had in battery cages.

I believe this because I think that animals in enrichment cages are living in horrible conditions and I think that they die a terrible death. I think their lives are just as important as ours. I think that these hens are trapped in cages, don't have space to move around and they don't live happy lives. In my view we are using innocent animals as egg machines and slaves. I think this could be considered torture.
