ISTANBUL (TR) - According to the survey carried out by Konda in 2021, more than 80% of the population of Turkey is against the rearing of chickens in industrial cages. 3 out of 4 people (76%) demand roaming chicken eggs, saying that industrial cage systems should be banned. The Cage-Free Turkey movement, which was started to prevent chickens raised for eggs from being raised under unfavorable conditions in narrow and crowded industrial cages, is expanding its activities with the support of the country's leading companies. Karaköy Güllüoğlu, which has become one of the symbols of Istanbul with its only branch and 200 years of deep-rooted experience, announced that they joined the Cage-Free Turkey movement.
Karaköy Güllüoğlu General Manager Murat Güllü stated that they signed an agreement that will be realized gradually within the scope of the Cage-Free Turkey movement and will be completed in 2025. “We think that the efforts carried out in this direction will expand the scope of the activities. As Karaköy Güllüoğlu, which has become one of the symbolic places of Istanbul with our deep-rooted experience of 200 years, we continue to take new and visionary steps that reinforce our renewed identity. The Cageless Turkey movement is one of these steps.”

Pointing out that the Cage-Free Turkey movement, which aims to raise awareness of institutions and businesses and serve a sustainable future, is an exemplary initiative that seeks to end the suffering of animals, Murat Güllü said, “Cage-Free Turkey continues to increase its activities and expand its sphere of influence with the signatures of national and international enterprises. As a company that preserves its deep-rooted tradition by renewing it every period, we respond to today's needs with our innovative face.
