Ban enriched and colony cages for hens

What the petition asks
We believe enriched and colony cages are unfair for hens that live in them for their entire lives.
We feel they are inhumane and limit their ability to behave normally, such as running, perching, and dustbathing. We believe that they should therefore be banned, in order to safeguard the welfare of hens.
