Free the cages protest

What is the Free the Cages Protest?
In the early 2000's to about 2020 chickens and many other farm animals were treated unfairly. They had a very little amount of space to move and were giving horrible lives. A little before 2020 it became more and more common to buy from chickens that were treated right. Millions of people began protesting when in 2050 President More began using chickens for dangerous research. Testing virus's and medicines became more common until there were fewer and fewer chickens left. In fear, people began fighting for rights in fear they would be endangered. They called the protest-free the cages. This protest was originally started by Ella Forman at the age of only 15 years old.

Ella Forman
Ella Forman started this protest. She was born and raised in Vermont. Her parents owned a farm so she was very connected to the animals. She says " I had to do something about these unfair chicken rights." She cared more about just the chickens this protest connected to many other animals and the issue of climate change. And as more and more people followed Forman's footsteps the more laws were made to help protect our planet.

The Day The Cages Were Free
The Day the cages were free is now a worldwide holiday every August 19th. The cages were not utterly free. Farm animals did not roam free. But Ella officially got all big farms to get more space for their animals and gave them a happy life. The day the cages were free is a day to celebrate how far we have come with protecting our earth and animals. On this day there was a party all over the world, speeches giving by Ella and thousands of other activists on her side too. They celebrated the success of animals' rights and the success of how far they have come with saving the planets.
