New Investigation Reveals Egg Industry Abuse

| I have to say, I've watched a lot of horrifying undercover investigations, but there's something about all of the egg industry footage that's just so unbelievably twisted.Maybe it's because most people have trouble believing that egg-laying hens are treated cruelly.People think, well, hens lay eggs anyway, so what's wrong with buying eggs?A new investigation by our friends at Mercy for Animals shows everyone just why the egg industry is so terrible.Workers at a supplier of NuCalone of the largest egg companies in the U.S.were documented ripping weakened birds out of tiny metal battery cages and throwing them violently into a "kill cart."Sick and injured birds were denied veterinary care and were left to die in filthy, crowded cages.Undercover investigators caught one worker twisting a sick bird's neck, throwing her on the ground, and leaving her to die.It's absolutely sickening.Watch the video for yourself.You can help stop abuse like this. |
| You can help stop abuse like this.Please urge Triarcthe major restaurant company that owns Arby's and that will soon own Wendy'sto lessen the abuse of animals in the egg industry by only buying from farms that sell cage-free eggs.We know that Triarc purchases a vast majority of their eggs from factory farms and choosing the least cruel farms possible will eliminate some needless suffering.Want to go one step further to help?Stop eating eggs altogether.If this investigation didn't convince you that hens in egg factory farms are treated bad enough, just know that egg-laying hens are still killed for food, too.Once their egg production drops, they are considered to be "spent" and are shipped off to slaughter to have their flesh made into things like chicken noodle soup.And really, there are many amazing alternatives to eggs, so give it a shot.Try using banana or applesauce instead of eggs when you bake, or scramble up some tofu and veggies for your first meal of the day.Let's help these hens!<3 Marta |
