Hi Friend,

Thanks to supporters like you, we've achieved yet another groundbreaking victory for animals. The ink is currently drying on a $287,500 settlement with regional egg producer Alderfer Poultry Farm over misleading "free-roaming" marketing claims — a win that will create lasting change for countless hens.

When outdoor access was provided, it consisted merely of wire-floored porches that could accommodate only a fraction of the birds. This reality stood in sharp contrast to consumer expectations — our research showed that 93% of consumers believe "free-roaming" means daily outdoor access.
