Tesco Faces Battery Of Protest Over Eggs
UK - Tesco will this week endure a series of protests outside its stores over the sale of eggs from caged hens.Pressure group Compassion in World Farming has organised a “Tesco Action Week” from 3-11 November to highlight the supermarket group's stance.
An EU-wide ban on caged hens is due to come into force in 2012.
But the protestors want Tesco to show its support in advance by committing to either a reduction or ban.
Eight demonstrations took place on Saturday (3 November) with a further ten scheduled between today and next Saturday.
