Daniela Sarfati, actress and defender of animal rights, adds to the Green Commitment organization to star in the awareness campaign on a little known but deeply alarming reality: in Peru, more than 29 million chickens live caged, deprived of liberty, sun and space to move.
Daniela tells the story of these laying birds, locked in very small cageswithout access to the sun or space to extend their wings that can barely extend their wings. The campaign seeks to highlight the living conditions on industrial farms and motivate consumers to make more informed, empathic and sustainable decisions when buying eggs.
“It is not my story, but that of millions of chickens in Peru. It is difficult to imagine that an animal spends its entire life in such a small space, without the opportunity to move freely. As consumers, we have the power to choose products that do not come from animal suffering,” Daniela Sarfati points out.
