Keep Oregon’s hens out of cages
Oregon’s governor is being pressured to sign an executive order that would suspend the state’s cage ban for hens. Overturning this law would force millions of hens back into a life of extreme confinement.
Oregon residents, make your voice heard before it’s too late. Urge Governor Kotek to preserve Oregon’s commitment to hens.

Oregon’s FarmED Animal Protections at Risk
Oregon’s ban on eggs from caged hens was a major step forward for animals and food safety. Now, the state’s governor is being pressured to sign an executive order that would suspend the ban, forcing millions of hens back into cages.
Supporters of the suspension claim that cage bans are driving egg price spikes. But higher prices and the national shortage of eggs are caused by the avian flu, not cage-free laws. Suspending the state’s cage-free standards will not make eggs more affordable, but it will hurt Oregon farmers, and residents who care about public health and animal welfare.
If you live in Oregon—or know someone who does—take action now. Write to Governor Kotek and protect hens today.
