Our Work
We rescue hens & raise awareness of their suffering
Our rescue team saved these battery hens from a life of misery.
The ‘rippers’ (workers who select the hens) rip them from the cages often breaking the hen’s bones in the process. We found some hens who had been dropped and had fallen beneath the cages. They were there for days without food or water.
One hen was so dehydrated on return to her new home at the rescue centre that she stood in the water bowl and drank and drank and drank.
We named her Nahla, which means ‘drink of water’.
