Ban egg hatching programs in schools and nurseries

Petition Details

We request:
- The immediate ban of all egg hatching programs in schools and nurseries.
- The development and promotion of alternative educational resources that communicate similar concepts without involving live animals.

Additional Information

We believe egg-hatching projects raise serious animal welfare concerns. Embryos can experience stress during artificial incubation, and many chicks are killed soon after hatching, sending a harmful message about the value of animal life. Incubators misrepresent the natural lifecycle by removing the mother hen, so children miss learning about maternal care and natural behaviour. Schools can teach life cycles effectively through videos, virtual simulations and classroom activities without using live animals.
