@mmd:
No mention of KMart Australia who as of 2013 disclose their factory locations: https://www.oxfam.org.au/media/2013/12/kmarts-disclosure-of-…
“Kmart’s disclosure of supplier factory locations will enable researchers, NGOs and civil society groups to independently check workers’ conditions by speaking to workers on site.
Interesting article, however is there a governing body/union that can truly hold the factories accountable for workers conditions?
Kmart and Target were the first Australian companies to sign on to the Bangladesh Fire and Building Safety Accord earlier this year, an agreement that mandates independent building inspections, a thorough review of safety standards, and repairs and renovations to unsafe factories.
Whilst that is safe for workers particularly after the 2013 incident, that doesn't apply to workers pay/ age/ conditions.
Mate, people can't be across every single social issue at one time. Maybe some people aren't aware of just how bad the sweatshop conditions are, maybe they didn't log onto OzBargain that day, maybe extreme animal cruelty provokes a reaction for them.
So the people negging above, just hypocrites,you value a chickens life over human beings poor working conditions and inhuman standard of living.
Shameful attempt at a strawman, reading that sentence it's actually so pathetic it deconstructs itself.
You people arent real advocates at all. Just hopping on the easiest "feel good" campaign and then shaming people for thinking otherwise or those who have a different opinion.
Nobody is walking around with a shiny pin-up badge on their chest saying "REAL advocate" and telling people how good they are. It's seeing something abhorrent and rightfully calling it out for the barbaric practice that it is. As for "Thinking otherwise" and "a different opinion" on extreme animal cruelty? If your view on extreme animal cruelty isn't centred around "it's wrong" you need to take a long, hard look in the mirror.
Don’t you mean here come the neggs?
I love how many people get off to themselves taking the moral high ground of buying free range eggs.
How hypocritical then you buy steak, or supermarket milk, or buy a cheap tshirt.
Yeh, theres probably a huge shift of ppl buying "free range" but that term isnt even defined properly so in all likelihood you're buying semi caged eggs and marketing. Good job.
I really love how people think just because you are completely positive about free-range and negative about cage eggs, makes you a steak-loving, cow milk drinking and 1 dollar shirt buying dude. How small minded some people are.
Shame on me picking on 3 simple examples of complete hypocrisy. I could sit here and use other examples of things that people purchase that have implications down the supply chain to better get a range population for you, but I'm busy eating my caged eggs.
Simplistic twaddle. The world is a complicated place with myriad incongruities, anachronisms and injustices. There's no need to wear a hair shirt or strive for perfection, simply do what you can to improve things when and if you can - not because it makes you feel good or salves your conscience, but because it's the right thing to do and might make some little difference. We all make many choices along the road - some are far simpler than others but if enough people make the same choices change can be effected. Not doing something because you're imperfect and therefore "hypocritical" is a puerile copout. And yes, there are many much bigger issues than caged eggs.
@Possumbly:
I agree with 99% of what you're saying. We have to start somewhere to be ethical, but it more just bugs me that people are so tunnel visioned on where their eggs come from possibly dont look at where the chicken thigh/breast that they buy is from. You have to draw the line somewhere that if the argument to buy caged eggs is for animal welfare, then why do you buy non free ranged chicken, or any cattle products and so on and so on. Apart from being a vegan, at some stage peoples food choices affect animal welfare, so why is it that people shit themselved over where their eggs are hatched but not other food supply/ethic in general issues.Personally, i buy free range when I can, but sure as hell theres a price ceiling, as there is with anything else that people have choice over.
Hell, i bought airline tickets this morning and "would you like to carbon offset"? God no. Did I give it a seconds thought when i unclicked it? No. Just another example of how much people monetarily value their footprint, whether it be through eggs or carbon emissions etc. Just interests me how there are so many egg/chicken warriors thats all
+1
They haven't considered the male chickens that are killed since they can't lay eggs….And also there are some dodgy free ranger farmers out there.
http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2016-05-18/snowdale-holdings-e…So because there is evil in this world we should just succumb to the worst of it? You make me sick linking such an article.
Welcome to the real world. There always someone trying to make a quick buck.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for free range, but there are issues such as no actual standards for free range, and no governing body to enforce these standards, which means some farmers will continue to sell so called 'free range' eggs.
I'll only buy free range eggs if I personally know the owner.
Grew up in gippsland, the cows aren't in cages all their life, whether it be milk or steak.
Can't say for sure, but I imaging the person making the cheap t-shirt isn't in a cage either, and the money they are making surely helps, as they otherwise would have nothing at all.
We are talking about chickens being in a small cage they can't even stand in, and chickens being able to walk around.
Sure, it may not be 100 percent ideal, but it's progress. Once free-range as it is now becomes the norm, people can try to up the conditions again. $2 more for a chicken that gets welfare or something.
Did you just seriously compare a chicken and a human child?
And besides they aren't in a "cage" as such, but they are in buildings that are so unstable that they collapse often and thousands of children die.
Speak for yourself, but I care about humans more than I do chickens.
Was that a reply to me? Because it didn't seem related to what I said at all
@Salmando: Yes that's a reply to you. You've taken so long to reply though that I've almost forgot the atrocity of what you said in the first place!
ITT: people who don't eat animal products or use products made in sweatshops negging
This isn't the same things as farming. Your sweatshop argument is somewhat valid, but I have more compassion for animals :)
i eat animals, plants, fungi, and products of above living things. some animals make good pets. others deserve extinction (see my mate the mosquito). i knowingly benefit from the suffering of others and other living things. yet i can disassociate far enough from that thought to eat the eggs of chickens cooped up in a warehouse somewhere, and the meat of a cow probably violently slaughtered elsewhere.
Eat them through chicken wire while squashed into a 60x90cm box for the full experience.
The price doesn't justify the cruelty

https://www.peta.org/issues/animals-used-for-food/factory-fa…Battery-hen production is a disgusting product of capitalism, and we should be ashamed that even though we can easily end it, as a society, we don't. Supporting the industry as a consumer is ignorant endorsement.
Please link an article from an independent source.
lol, good call!
Dude, I'm making a big assumption here, but based on your question for independent research, it sounds like you needed learn more about where your food comes from, and shouldn't be relying on others to hand feed you information on this stuff. Our food production systems have wide ranging impacts on people, animals and our environment. Cage eggs is one of the more well known, which makes me suspect there are some gaps for you.
Independent research on cage eggs and hen welfare:
- EU funded body and their research findings: www.laywel.eu/web/xmlappservlet7bc1.html?action
- A study funded by the VIC Gov, also talks about the contentions behind hen welfare http://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2017-10-13/cage-fight-over-…
- Genetic problems in caged hens: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10806-008-9128-…
- Here's great general reading: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_cage
- There's heaps more, jump on google,On that note, If you're comfortable with the suffering behind cage eggs (or any other food you consume), then keep going. You shouldn't need social pressure to care for animals, some people lack the empathy ability. Just be fully informed and consume as you deem appropriate.
In light of this and now you have the relevant info, are you going to change
Thanks for linking independent articles.
Tromboc linked articles from Animals Australia/ PETA/ RSPCA which I didn't bother to click on, but going to assume contain pro free range/anti cage eggs content.
People should link independent, unbiased articles wherever possible, otherwise the majority may be misinformed.
An extreme example is if I was against vaccines, I would try and prove my opinion by linking http://vaccineresistancemovement.org as an example. Is the information in this site independent and unbiased?I've linked an independent article which explains that cage eggs are safer…
Don't get me wrong, I prefer free range but since there are no standards, and governing body to enforce these standards, I will continue to buy the cheapest eggs (unless someone posts a free range eggs bargain)
I think there are a bigger issue which we should focus on: climate change as that will adversely affect animals and people.
There's not an issue with the product. It is disclosed as cage eggs. Everyone knows what they are buying.
Previous comment revoked because I just agreed with someone else rather than restating what they'd already said? Okay, saving money on blatantly unethical products isn't a bargain. There's an issue with cage eggs i.e. the product, hence the neg.
Edit: I can't revote. Seems silly given I've rectified the issue, but in that case, count this comment as a big ol' negative vote.
Neg neg for the caged egg.
Can't have just gone Negg?
Neg for animal cruelty. Free range all day!
Ask a caged or a free-range chicken what happened to their brother.
i've had cage eggs before they taste worse because of the conscience factor
I think there's a line you have to draw when it comes to "savings"
Lot of SJW tears flying around, I bet they taste delicious.
SJWs are off inventing new genders and getting triggered by the oppressive patriarchy. Don't conflate that garbage with not supporting animal cruelty.
potatoe/potato
Feed them in your backyards if you are full of ethical values.
Cage eggs bad.
Defective product. Egg didn't work.
You must be yolking?
caging for eggs is a garbage practice
Came to upvote a bargain.
Stayed for the sanctimonious finger wagging.
Slacktivism in all its glory
Goodness is doing one's own will.
Righteousness is forcing others to do one's own will.
I think you're missing the point, it isn't about people being sanctimonious or how you feel, it's about the suffering of the animals. Your feelings are entirely irrelevant. Objectively, it's immoral to buy cage eggs. There's no argument about that, and anyone who does it is a garbage person.
@Iggemo: "He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone"
Children as young as seven are working in perilous conditions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to mine cobalt that ends up in smartphones, cars and computers sold to millions across the world.
Do you know how many birds die from being ingested into a planes engine each day?
I could go on but I think you should understand my point.
@snagseb: So, because there are OTHER bad things that happen in other parts of the world to do with other things, we should just give up altogether and not care about animal welfare? Right, gotchya.
Remember, all, if you can't eradicate 100% of all cruelty from the world, don't bother trying to remove any cos it's either 100% or nothing!
Great mindset!
@Iggemo: No, you simpleton, I was trying to show you how much of a hypocrite you are to call people ‘garbage’. I guess only you are allowed to pick what is considered non-garbage behaviour. You’re a joke, buddy.
Same as last time, i'm negging this since there is simply no excuse for the brutality inflicted upon our fellow animals so needlessly as involved with cage eggs.
Please provide a similar item that is a cheaper price thanks.
The egg is the product.
Ok, I'm going to make another comment just to try and make people see sense.
Imagine yourself a chook in one of those squashy boxes. Life's quite rough and you are only fed cornmeal. Every day someone takes your eggs off you.
Now imagine that all the inhumane treatment you had faced was all for nothing because no one even bought your eggs. They get chucked away. Imagine being told that a group of people advocating for your rights were the very people who are condemning you to a life of pointlessness.How would you feel?
TL:DR - the suffering has already happened.
Is it a bad time to discuss parthenogenesis in chicken eggs?
To those opposing cage chicken eggs, if you are serious do you boycott and lobby the supermarkets which sell caged eggs or does your outrage only extend to the comments section on a bargain website?
If you are consistent you probably shouldn't be eating fish, chicken, or other meats because the only way to get that tasty meat onto your plate is to kill an animal. Those poor fish suffocate to death when they are caught, maybe we should also downvote any canned tuna deals on OzB? Maybe we should also down vote fishing rod deals for promoting cruelty to animals? :/
I think it is great that people have their own views about animal welfare but when it is inconsistent it makes you come off as disingenuous.
It's time to shame these industries, it does work, we can shut them down. I am against many of the promotions here on ozbargin and many do violate the laws such as liquor sales. Make people feel guilty about consuming these products and ask restaurants where they source their eggs from, many times I have seen a delivery driver supply eggs in large 50 blue cardboard containers to businesses.
#StreetsUsesCageEggs
There, that'll stir the pot. 😜
Wrong at any price, dirt cheap to produce but marked down and still no one wants them. Downvote thx
Only bought by the unaware/selfish with no conscience
Negging because this product sponsors easily-preventable animal cruelty.
nope. this is a monstrosity. and the fact that people are going out of there way to neg all the peoples comments about this being cruel. (profanity) you guys
The fact that cage eggs are still a thing is disgusting. Less animal cruelty posts please.
bad things
Cage eggs need to banned.
Until then everyone and anyone can afford to pay a little more. If you're using a computer you are not poor.Cage eggs = not cool. Deal or not
Here is a +ve vote to piss off all the holier than thou Ozbargainers.
Cage eggs are a horrible practice. Please rethink upvoting a product such as this just because it's cheaper. Animals shouldn't be mistreated just to save a buck.
Coles should be a shamed of themselves. For a billion dollar corporation to not take an immediate stand against this is abhorrent.
They have. No Coles branded eggs hens are housed in cages.
Accepting caged eggs in their stores doesn’t sound like taking a stand to me.
Neg for cage.
Who is selling the cage?
Username checks out.
I use to buy caged eggs, I never used to buy free range due to price. I now don't buy any eggs. I have backyard chickies and have all organic eggs now :) get scraps from markets n work.
Chickens in cages - buga , no room
Chickens in barns- buga(still no room)
Chickens that are free - are they really free
Organic - u got my vote - price is a lot higher thoughU guys want to stop the problems one at a time then raise ur own in ur own space ;) at least u will feel satisfied and not complain so much. I really liked ozbargainlfy and gamemasters comments - pretty well said :)
I really hate the argument that one can't care for chickens welfare unless they also care about every other issue on the planet at the exact same time. If everyone thought like that the whole planet would be absolute hell. We need to tackle one problem at a time and make the world better.
Despite ozbargains rage I am still buying eggs from a cage /billy corgan
Is this ozbargain or the PETA forums?
Wow so many negs to this deal for the reason that the eggs are CAGE. This is a perfect deal for people who are living on welfare or making minimum wages. Although I doubt people who do their daily shopping @ Chatswood chase or live in that area would care about a deal like this.
@pennypincher98:
Perhaps a link to an article or a forum? otherwise it’s unsubstantiated speculation
