LUSH 與「地球共惜」揭「格子籠」殘忍內幕 
LUSH and Planet for All Revealed Animal Cruelty in the Egg Industry

零殘忍英國美妝品牌 LUSH 聯同 本港非牟利動物保護機構地球共惜（Planet for All），於 LUSH 銅鑼灣分店舉辦首個大型發佈會「不被看見的動物 — 關你蛋事導賞團」，以響應本港首個蛋雞福利運動「自由鳥行動 Cage-Free Hong Kong」，亞洲素食展及Taste of Veg亦以支持單位的身份出席。活動獲得多位愛護動物的城中名人支持，包括羽毛球港將謝影雪、歌手周志文、模特兒余曉彤等。發佈會藉揭露「格子籠系統」 (Battery Cage System) 不為人知的殘酷代價和公共衛生隱憂，促使企業和消費者認知蛋雞福利在人道、食品安全、可持續發展等層面上的重要性，並呼籲各界轉向支持「非籠養雞蛋」(Cage-Free Egg) 採購。

良心企業力撐「非籠養雞蛋」：LUSH、亞洲素食展及 Taste of Veg 鼎力支持
創立30年以來，一直維護動物權益的 LUSH ，今次亦不遺餘力， LUSH 港澳總經理張子盈分享道：「 LUSH 一直致力於捍衛動物權益，自 2019 年起便停止使用雞蛋，改以鷹嘴豆水等植物性成分製作包括髮膜在內的多款產品，以實際行動證明：不傷害動物也能製作出高效的產品。此次，我們全力支持『地球共惜』倡導的『非籠養雞蛋』理念，並堅信企業應承擔社會責任，透過採購轉型為動物謀求更多福祉。」

活動的支持機構 Taste of Veg 總經理李文詠表示：「我們多年來作為亞洲素食展的​策略夥伴，觀察到參展商及參與人數持續上升。而我們之前亦有做一個調查有關香港的素食人口，發現素食及彈性素食者至2023年已躍升至75%。香港市民的素食及動保意識越來越高，企業亦為此提供更多實踐良好福利的產品，以吸引消費者青睞。」動物福利日益受到社會大眾關注，企業有責任積極推動「非籠養」轉型，以回應消費者的期望。

各界名人出席活動  同關注母雞福利
除了亞洲素食展及Taste of Veg，活動更邀請了各界名人，包括奧運羽毛球代表謝影雪、茹素多年的歌手周志文、向來關心海洋議題的模特兒余曉彤等。活動看畢「格子籠母雞」的短片後，謝影雪在訪問中表示：「我自己都有很多受傷，(因為)我做運動。我有時在家蹺腳坐得耐，一起身那一下其實我都覺得痛；所以其實我都想像不到她們(母雞)，不是說一陣子，而是一生就是在那裹成長。」

地球共惜企業合作及項目總監陳詩韻介紹道：「我們邀請到不同界別人士一同關注動物福利，為了讓大家親身體會農場母雞的感受，我們與本地設計師 Brian Lee 和 Eva Leung 合力設計『格子籠』體驗區，更把舖面櫥窗裝潢成等比例的『格子籠』，望大家反思並改變消費行為。」發佈日後， LUSH 銅鑼灣分店二樓將開放作『格子籠』體驗區至6月29日，歡迎公眾參觀；地球共惜亦會於 LUSH 尖沙咀K11分店，就「自由鳥行動」擺放公眾展覽區至7月31日。陳詩韻續呼籲「希望大家在了解蛋雞工業的殘酷真相後，能透過支持我們發起的聯署，一同為『格子籠』母雞發聲。」

全球首個大型蛋雞調查  「格子籠」工業或釀人禍
剛巧在發佈會前，「讓雞展翅國際聯盟」( Open Wing Alliance )亦公佈了全球首個大型蛋雞調查。「讓雞展翅國際聯盟」亞太區經理 Jonathon Tree指：「這次調查向大眾揭露亞洲蛋雞工業背後隱藏著的痛苦代價，『格子籠』非但殘忍無道，更有可能醞釀公共衛生災難。」事實上，全球超過35個國家，包括英國、紐西蘭、瑞士等早已禁止使用「格子籠系統」困養母雞。「格子籠」母雞平均只有小於A4紙的生存空間，終生受困籠內不見天日，更存嚴重的公共衛生風險，過度擠迫的飼養環境大幅增加禽流感等疾病的傳播風險，危害公眾健康_¹。


國際知名「Good Egg Award」進駐香港  表揚企業「非籠養」承諾
隨著社會越來越關注以往被忽視的動物福利問題，人道採購成新趨勢；全港已有超過70間企業公佈「非籠養」採購承諾，包括置地文華東方酒店、IKEA、譚仔三哥米線等。正值企業「非籠養」轉型的大好氣候，地球共惜今年與世界農場動物福利協會 ( Compassion in World Farming ) 合作，將國際上有名的「Good Egg Award」帶到香港，表揚公開承諾在五年內完全採用「非籠養」雞蛋的餐飲、零售、食品企業。自2007年創立至今，「Good Egg Award」之銜一直備受國際重視，連IKEA、瑪莎百貨、星巴克等全球品牌都曾參與並獲獎。

「自由鳥行動」多方面行動  望成為香港蛋雞福利一大齒輪
本次發佈會獲各界名人支持，引起極大迴響，期望能喚起社會大眾對蛋雞福利的關注。伴隨著發佈會後LUSH分店的公眾展覽，以及推動業界轉型的「Good Egg Award」獎項，地球共惜期望「自由鳥行動」能成為香港推動「非籠養雞蛋」採購的關鍵齒輪，引領各界邁向人道採購。

(Hong Kong – June 19, 2025)   LUSH partnered with Planet for All, Hong Kong’s first non-profit organization dedicated to farmed animal welfare, for a major Media Event on 19th June at the LUSH Causeway Bay store, with Vegetarian Food Asia and Taste of Veg attending as supporting organisations. Themed Cage-Free Hong Kong, Hong Kong’s first laying hen welfare campaign, the Media Event garnered support from various animal-loving public figures, including Hong Kong badminton player and Olympian Tse Ying Suet, singer Adrian Chau, and model Hidy Yu. The Media Event exposed the cruelty and public health risks associated with the battery cage system in the egg industry, urging the adoption of cage-free egg sourcing by businesses and consumers, based on ethical, food safety, and sustainability concerns.

Conscious Businesses Champion Cage-Free Eggs: LUSH, Vegetarian Food Asia and Taste of Veg Support the Movement
Established 30 years ago, LUSH has always championed animal rights, supporting various animal protection initiatives. Miranda Cheung, LUSH Hong Kong & Macau Managing Director, shared: “LUSH is committed to defending animal rights. We have removed eggs from all products since 2019, transitioning to plant-based ingredients like aquafaba for products such as hair treatment, demonstrating that we can create effective products without harming animals. We fully back Planet for All’s cage-free advocacy, and we firmly believe that businesses must take responsibility by transforming their procurement practices for better animal welfare.”

Seiko Lee, General Manager of Taste of Veg, a supporting organization for the event, stated: “As a long-standing strategic partner of Vegetarian Food Asia, we have observed a continuous rise in both exhibitor and participant numbers. Our previous survey on Hong Kong’s vegetarian population also revealed that the proportion of vegetarians and flexitarians in Hong Kong has risen from 20% in 2014 to 75% in 2023. This indicates that Hong Kong citizens’ awareness of vegetarianism and animal protection is rising rapidly, and businesses are adapting by offering more welfare-friendly products to attract consumers.” As public concern for animal welfare grows, businesses are responsible for actively transitioning to cage-free practices, thereby meeting consumer expectations.

Multiple Public Figures Attended, Shredding Light on Laying Hen Welfare
The event attracted various public figures, including Hong Kong badminton player and Olympian Tse Ying Suet; singer Adrian Chau, a long-time vegetarian; and model Hidy Yu. After watching a video about battery cage cruelty, Tse Ying Suet stated in an interview: “As an athlete, I’ve had many injuries myself. Sometimes when I sit cross-legged for a long time at home, I feel pain the moment I stand up. So, I truly cannot imagine what it’s like for them (hens), not just for a moment, but for their entire lives spent growing up in that place.”

Wendy Chan, Director of Corporate Partnerships & Campaigns at Planet for All, explained: “Gathering support from different celebrities, our event aimed to raise animal welfare awareness. We collaborated with local designers Brian Lee and Eva Leung to create a Battery Cage Experience Zone. A life-sized storefront display is featured at LUSH Causeway Bay as well. We hope visitors will reflect on their consumer habits and be inspired to make a positive change.” The Battery Cage Experience Zone on the upper floor of LUSH Causeway Bay will be open to the public until the end of June. Additionally, a Cage-Free Hong Kong Exhibition will be held at the LUSH K11 store until the end of July. Wendy urged: “We hope that after understanding the cruelty of the egg industry, citizens can help speak up for the hens by signing our petition.”

World’s Largest Egg Investigation Warns of Public Health Disaster
Just before the Media Event, the Open Wing Alliance released the world’s first largest egg investigation.“This investigation exposes the scale of suffering in the supply chains of major Asian food companies,” said Jonathon Tree, Asia-Pacific Regional Manager of The Open Wing Alliance. “These cages are not only cruel, they may harbor the next public health disaster.” In fact, over 35 countries, including the UK, New Zealand, and Switzerland, have already banned battery cages. Hens in battery cages live in spaces smaller than an A4 sheet of paper, unable to move freely or spread their wings. Battery cage eggs also pose serious public health risks, as a study shows that overcrowded living conditions significantly increase the spread of diseases, such as avian flu.

Good Egg Award to be Launched in Hong Kong to Recognize Corporate Cage-Free Commitments
Ethical sourcing has become a new trend among corporations as public awareness of animal welfare surges. Over 70 companies in Hong Kong have already committed to cage-free sourcing, including The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, IKEA, and TamJai SamGor. Leveraging this positive atmosphere for corporate cage-free transitions, Planet for All is collaborating with Compassion in World Farming this year to launch the globally renowned Good Egg Award in Hong Kong. The award recognizes catering, retail, and food companies that publicly commit to fully adopting cage-free eggs within five years. Since its establishment in 2007, the Good Egg Award has been highly respected internationally, with global brands such as IKEA, Marks & Spencer, and Starbucks having previously participated and won the award.

All-rounded Actions under Cage-Free Hong Kong to Drive Laying Hen Welfare 
This Media Event gained strong support from various parties, hoping to boost hen welfare awareness among the public. With public exhibitions at LUSH stores following the Media Event, and the Good Egg Award to facilitate corporate transitions, Cage-Free Hong Kong is anticipated to be key to driving cage-free egg sourcing in Hong Kong, encouraging ethical sourcing across all sectors.

– Hens cannot express their natural behaviors, including spreading their wings.
– Extreme stress leads to self-harm in hens, such as feather pecking.
– Hens are highly susceptible to bone fractures and uterine prolapse.
– Overcrowded living conditions significantly increase the spread of diseases.
