Why does Nando’s only care about chickens in some countries?

Image is split into two halves. On the left half it has a red background with the Nando’s chicken logo and text says, “New Zealand failing to help chickens.” Then the red background looks like it’s been peeled back to show a photo of a group of young chickens, with many patches that aren’t feathered, standing on a faeces-encrusted floor, some drinking from a red water dripper. On the right half it has a red background with the Nando’s chicken logo and text says “United Kingdom and Ireland signed The Better Chicken Commitment.” Then the red background looks like it’s been peeled back to show a photo of a group of young chickens standing next to or pecking at a bale of straw, on a floor with straw and shavings.

Nando’s, all chickens deserve better treatment.

Eggsplainer – Why is there an egg shortage right now?

Close-up of the head and neck of a brown feathered hen behind metal bars. Behind and next to her are other hens. There are two orange plastic flaps hanging down beside her and more hens are the other side of the flaps. Metal mesh can be seen at the back of the cage.

What eggs have been banned and how are hens still being farmed?

Passing the buck for egg shortage

Egg shortage shows lack of leadership by the egg industry, who are trying to shift blame away from itself.
