Summary
- Activists delivered a petition for cage-free eggs via motorcycle protest at Plataran Ubud Resort.
- Plataran operates 81 locations across Indonesia and Japan.
- Campaigners cite animal welfare and public health concerns regarding cage-based egg systems.
Activists recently used a motorcycle protest at Plataran Ubud Resort in Bali to advocate for cage-free eggs. This action highlights concerns about whether Plataran's supply-chain practices align with its eco-friendly image. The campaign aims to influence Plataran's egg sourcing across its 81 Indonesian and Japanese locations.
Campaigners emphasize that current Indonesian egg production predominantly uses cage systems, restricting hens' natural behaviors. They also cite research linking cage systems to increased Salmonella prevalence and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Activists have been engaging with Plataran since 2024, seeking a commitment to cage-free eggs.
The protest and upcoming monthlong tour aim to maintain public attention. Organizers point out that over 110 Indonesian companies have already committed to cage-free policies, suggesting Plataran should align its practices with its sustainability branding and market trends.
