Major news! The USDA just released figures that the US egg industry is now officially over 40%! This is the highest percentage of cage-free hens since caging became the norm, and it represents over 120 million hens who will never have to suffer life in a cage. 

Reaching this historic milestone was a massive coalition effort! So many people on this list have worked hard to achieve it. While we can all agree that cage-free is far from perfect, it is a drastic reduction in suffering. Please note that these statistics can bounce around a good bit, especially in a time (like right now) where millions of hens are being killed due to avian flu.

Here is a link to HSUS’ blog celebrating this victory.

Thank you and congratulations to everyone who worked to make this happen!
