Initial grants to support corporate cage-free reforms

Abstract

Battery cages cause severe suffering in egg-laying hens, while cage-free systems provide a drastically better welfare. Corporate cage-free campaigns are tractable, cost-effective, and can pave the way for even more comprehensive animal welfare reforms in the long term. The Open Philanthropy Project provided $2.5 million in grants to three organizations to support these campaigns, which are expected to spare millions of hens from cage confinement annually. – AI-generated abstract.
