Gap Goes Cage Free

The Gap has joined a growing number of California companies in switching to cage-free eggs in their corporate cafeterias. Companies like Google, Yahoo! and Bon Appétit Management Company have all gone cage-free after learning about factory farming methods in the USA.

"The Humane Society of the United States applauds Gap for joining the national movement away from cruel battery cages," said Paul Shapiro, senior director of The HSUS' factory farming campaign. "It's hard to imagine a more miserable existence for a bird than being crammed in a cage so small..."

The USA practices some of the cruelest factory farming methods on the planet. In the US, more than 280 million hens are confined to battery cages with each hen having a space no bigger than a single sheet of paper, preventing a bird from moving around or spreading their wings.
