I think the article you mentioned you'll publish in response to @Thomas B. 's comment would likely shed some light.
But here's what I'm wondering at the moment (and I may not be representing the argument 100% accurately):
What ACTAsia found was that corporate cage-free policy requires the end-consumer to have some sort of baseline concern for the welfare conditions of their eggs. Of which, they argue, there's a lack in China.
Without a large enough baseline care for welfare conditions, there isn't much pressure on the corporation, and there's more social ostracization pressure on activists trying to make cage-free happen. However, ACTAsia found that a fur-free intervention through the fashion industry was a pullable lever to start cementing an animal welfare foundation in China.
Congrats on the big win! Do you think that companies that export animal products are more willing to adopt cage-free practices? What I'm curious about is whether a fully domestic supplier would be less willing to go cage-free.
Came here to look at your work set-up... I got sucked all the way to the end of the article! Made a bookmark to learn about the founder-executive director difference that Joey Savoie wrote about too :)
Great seeing you at AVA too Whitney!

Looking forward to learning more!
