Sign the petition asking CJ Group to end cage confinement in its egg supply

3 min

Why it's urgent

No fixed deadline is given. The petition is 924 signatures short of its 50,000 goal.

The strategy

Petitions can show a company that many customers care about a welfare issue, which can increase pressure on brands. One signature adds little on its own, though it helps reach the goal.

Why it scored 58

Scale: Huge: About 1 to 10 million hens (guess): the petition page says CJ Group's cages hold 'millions' of birds without a figure, so this is an estimate and is not confirmed.
Severity: Extreme: The petition describes hens in cages with no room to turn around or spread their wings, which is prolonged confinement; this is the campaign's own description.
Chance of success: Long shot: The page shows no response from CJ Group, so a petition alone is unlikely to produce a change without further pressure.
Your difference: Small: One signature among about 49,000 is a single click, though it helps the petition reach its goal.

The form asks for first name, last name, email and country, and the country list covers many countries. The page does not say whether the petition is limited to certain countries. Sources: takeaction.openwingalliance.org, cjgroupeggs.com, thehumaneleague.org. How scoring works
