About this event
The University of Saskatchewan is planning a new poultry research facility that would include confining hens in so-called “enriched” cages. These tiny wire cages prevent hens from moving freely, expressing their natural behaviours, and cause widespread illness, injuries, and death.
Join Animal Justice for a protest on campus, where we’ll unveil a massive banner exposing how USask’s plan to build cages for hens will subject animals to heartbreaking cruelty.
Call on USask to BAN CAGES in its proposed research barn!
The world is moving to end cages for egg-laying hens. In 2025, approximately 79% of UK egg production and 62% of EU production was cage-free, compared with just 20% in Canada.
The University’s Board of Governors still has an opportunity to reject this plan. Let’s make sure they hear us!
Signs will be provided. Join us in demanding that USask ban cages and choose a kinder future for hens!
Invite your friends and RSVP to show your support.
