CAFF and friends protest outside the Wellington Egg Company battery hen farm.  Lots of people and lots of supportive traffic on State Highway 54 passing by and tooting

The three photographs above are from inside one of the Wellington Egg Company's battery hen sheds.  Rows of cages, with several birds in each cage.  Manure is piled up from the floor to the bottom of the cages, and will not be removed until the hens are deemed too worn out to lay eggs at the required rate.  At approximately 18 months of age they will be released from their sentence, only to be sent to slaughter.  In the meantime they have to endure not only cruelly cramped conditions, but also high levels of ammonia and other chemicals that are given off by their rotting faeces.  They may also have visits from the occasional rat or mouse.

CAFF information stalls outside local supermarkets, and shopping centres, asking consumers to boycott battery farmed eggs.  Petitions are filled in by consumers and forwarded to their local supermarket managers, asking them to stop selling battery eggs.

CAFF and local Kapiti coasters, stand on the street outside Kapiti Poultry Farm.  CAFF is protesting against the inhumane treatment of caged battery hens within the "farm" sheds.
