About this episode

Peter Egan discusses animal welfare issues related to hens in the UK and his advocacy for dogs.

We’re joined by Actor, Activist and Broadcaster, Peter Egan, who is talking about why he is campaigning and raising awareness for the seven million hens in the UK are kept in so-called “enriched cages”, where each bird has space roughly the size of an A4 sheet of paper, preventing them from fully stretching their wings, foraging or dust bathing. Campaigners say the UK is falling behind several European countries on animal welfare, with Austria banning enriched cages in 2020, France banning new cage systems in 2018 and Germany now fully cage-free. Peter also chats about his work as a huge advocate for dogs, not least in being a Patron for the charity that Anna is an Ambassador for - All Dogs Matter!
