Frankenchickens grow so quickly that they experience pain, become ill, and die prematurely. Many develop mobility disorders, before their lives end between 35-42 days of age. Therefore, Project 1882 now urges the EU-commission to act by working for a ban on the breeding of Frankenchickens.

Today, millions of hens across Ukraine are confined to cramped battery cages on factory farms. These intelligent and social animals are denied the ability to move freely, stretch their wings, or breathe fresh air – for their entire lives. While all large-scale egg production compromises animal welfare, it is within the battery cages that hens suffer the most, both physically and psychologically. Their suffering is difficult to put into words. It must end.

Project 1882 calls for a nationwide ban on keeping hens in cages in Ukraine, and for all cages to be phased out by 2030.

To the European Commission: It's time to improve European animal welfare. Billions of animals in Europe suffer each year. Nowhere in the world are there more animals, than on factory farms. They are treated as products, even though they are sentient individuals with their own interests and needs. 

Radisson Hotel Group has promised to phase out eggs from caged hens, but instead of taking important steps toward a cage-free future, they are removing their deadline. Now we demand that one of the world’s largest hotel chains keeps its promise to hens worldwide.
