The news that Tasmania has committed to getting rid of battery cages is definitely worth celebrating! It means that chickens will no longer be caged in an area about the same size as a sheet of A4 paper, unable to even stretch their wings.

This step forward is probably something everyone should know about, so what better way to spread the word than by sharing cruelty-free cupcakes with your buds? No eggs, no dairy ... nothing but deliciousness.

As each friend dips their greedy, greedy hand in to grab a cupcake, make sure you let them know all about Tasmania's compassionate decision and how they can help hens (and chicks!) too! It's win-win: your friends get cupcakes, and you get to share the great news!

When you've finished making your cupcakes, head to our Forum and share your baking tips/experiences with other Unleashed members. Oh, and make sure you save a cupcake for yourself ;)
