Factory farms cram egg-laying hens into cages so tiny they can't even spread their wings. Breeding pigs and veal calves are stuffed into cramped individual cages barely larger than their bodies. They can’t walk or turn around. But you can help free animals from these cruel cages.


It's simply wrong to confine farm animals in tiny cages for their whole lives. Crated calves are tethered by the neck, pigs in severe confinement bite the metal bars of their crates, and hens get trapped and can even be impaled in their cages. These animals can barely move for months on end.

We wouldn't force our pets to live in filthy, cramped cages for their whole lives, and we shouldn't force farm animals to endure such misery, either. All animals, including those raised for food, deserve protection from this abuse.

The HSUS is making great progress for these animals. You also can say no to this cruelty whenever you shop or eat. Read More
