Great news to start off the new year! Colorado and Michigan’s laws banning the production and sale of eggs from caged hens went into effect on January 1, 2025. The implementation of these laws represents a historic moment in our movement’s work to end the cage confinement of farm animals. We estimate that these two laws will provide legal protections for almost *15 million birds every year* going forward.
Victories like this build on all of the hard work—both legislative and corporate—that various groups are doing. So, congratulations to everyone pushing to get hens out of cages!
