Maryland: Take Action to End Cruel Confinement of Hens Used for Egg Production!
This action is for Maryland residents only.
Hens used in the egg industry are among the most abused animals in the country yet have few legal protections. In most states, hens can legally be intensively confined in battery cages that are so small they cannot extend their wings or lie down comfortably.
Legislation being considered by Maryland lawmakers, S.B. 806/H.B. 834, would ban the use of cruel cages and require eggs sold in Maryland to come from hens in a cage-free environment.
