InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) Cruelty

Is InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) trying to profit from empty promises to consumers?



For years, consumers have been demanding better animal welfare standards from food providers. More than 400 companies, including InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), have responded by committing to eliminate caged eggs from their supply chains.

IHG is not publicly reporting its cage-free egg progress for all of its brands by volume. Meanwhile, its competitors - including Marriott, Four Seasons, Accor Hotels, Travel + Leisure Co., Hyatt Hotels, Hilton, Langham Hospitality, and Mandarin Oriental - are all demonstrating true transparency and commitment to their animal welfare polices by publicly reporting their cage-free egg volumes.

Join us in asking IHG to do the responsible thing by publishing progress for all of its global brands (Atwell Suites, avid hotels, Candlewood Suites, Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts, EVEN Hotels, Holiday Inn Club Vacations, Holiday Inn Express, Holiday Inn Hotels & Resorts, Hotel Indigo, HUALUXE Hotels and Resorts, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, Regent Hotels & Resorts, Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas, Staybridge Suites, Vignette Collection, and voco)!

Why Cage-Free?

Confinement

Egg-laying hens are forcefully shoved inside wire cages, and on average, each hen is only afforded as little as 67 square inches of cage space — less than a single sheet of letter-sized paper on which to live her entire life. This intense confinement is the main source for frustration, injuries, and in many cases death.

Injuries

Foot and claw damage are more frequent in cages than in other systems, with lesions, fissures, and twisted or broken claws resulting from stepping on sharp wiring every day. Often, other body parts are caught in the caging, which results in fractured or broken bones, deformities, and further feather wear.

Mental Anguish

Like any animal, chickens are highly motivated to perform natural behaviors. These behaviors include nesting, perching, scratching, foraging, and exploring. Caged chickens are denied all of these natural behaviors, causing them severe distress and frustration.

These states have banned cages
