Rabobank must stop financing the confinement of animals in cages.

Imagine how many animals will have to endure extreme confinement and even die inside cages before the commitment deadline of 2035 arrives.

We are asking Rabobank to stop doing business with clients that haven’t implemented a group-wide commitment to transition to cage-free systems for laying hens by 2025, as the bank’s policies require.

supporting cages?

Lack of space

Up to 12 hens can be crammed together into one small cage. This usually means each of them has a space smaller than an A4 sheet of paper to spend their whole lives in.

Frustration

They cannot express their natural behaviors, such as spreading their wings, walking freely, or nesting.

This deprivation leads them to feel constantly frustrated.

Pain

Hens in cage systems have an increased risk of bone diseases such as osteoporosis, making them prone to painful fractures. They have to stand on a metal grate that hurts their feet.

Death and filth

Sometimes, dead hens are left to rot for days, forcing the surviving hens to live next to the decaying bodies of their peers. Hens usually are forced to live among their own feces.

Public health

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has concluded that cage systems have a higher prevalence of Salmonella compared to cage-free systems.
