Tell Walmart Canada to eliminate cages from its egg supply

10 min

Why it's urgent

No fixed deadline is given. The campaign was posted October 1, 2026, and the report says Walmart Canada has no public deadline for ending cages.

The strategy

Asks Walmart Canada to set a date for its own cage-free pledge. Pressure from customers on a major grocer can prompt action, but one survey or email is a small addition.

Why it scored 50

Scale: Huge: Guess: 1 million to 10 million hens, since the report says Walmart Canada has millions of birds in its egg supply but gives no count.
Severity: Serious: Extreme confinement in cages is a meaningful welfare harm, though not the most intense suffering.
Chance of success: Long shot: The report shows the pledge from a decade ago is still unmet, with no public deadline, so there is no sign of imminent change.
Your difference: Small: A single survey response or email sent to a company, one among many.

Open to anyone. The campaign targets Canadian shoppers, and the report does not say whether non-Canadians can submit the survey or email. Sources: mercyforanimals.org, mercyforanimals.org. How scoring works
