7-eleven: Keep your promises, lose the cages!

For years, consumers have been demanding better animal welfare standards from food providers. More than 400 companies, including 7-Eleven, have responded by committing to eliminate caged eggs from their supply chains.

7-Eleven made a promise to its customers to ban the cruel practice of caging egg-laying hens. Years later, the commitment has secretly been taken down, meaning that millions of hens are still suffering in cages for 7-Eleven.

7-Eleven cannot sneak its way out of animal abuse any longer; it must republish its 100% cage-free egg policy for the US and Canada, and it must publicly report what progress - if any - has been made on its original commitment. Hold 7-Eleven accountable for its deceit and support of animal cruelty.

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.

Many leading food companies are reporting on their progress toward being 100% cage-free, including these:
