Nevada becomes the ninth US state to go cage-free
The Humane League, July 20, 2021
Abstract
Nevada passed a law banning the use of battery cages for egg-laying hens and requiring cage-free housing systems by 2024. The law will affect large-scale, commercial producers who account for most eggs laid and sold in the US. The cage-free systems will provide hens with more space to stand up, move around, and exhibit natural behaviors, such as scratching the ground and perching. – AI-generated abstract.
