Good News for Hens in California
California will become a cage-free state in 2015. Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger (CA) has signed A.B. 1437, a bill backed by the
Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) that requires that
starting in 2015 all whole eggs sold in California must come from
hens who were able to stand up, lie down, turn around, and fully
extend their limbs without touching one another or the sides of an
enclosure.

Egg Bill
Great news for hens in California! Although hens should not be
exploited for their eggs, the fact is that this new legislation will
reduce the suffering of millions of hens who currently survive in
tiny cages without the chance to exercise any of their God given
instincts. Hopefully more states will follow CA and thus show
compassion for hens.
