Hens Abandoned in Mega Farms

[Catherine]

The whole egg producing "industry" has become inherently cruel. The fact that they call it an industry tells us what the problem is. They do not see hens as living creatures.
The fact that birds get dropped under the cages and no one cares is just one more shocking cruelty in a cruel system.
I can't believe how dirty the whole barn is. Shouldn't there be a minimum standard of cleanliness? Are these farms not inspected?
I guess it is yet another example of the industry standard is so low that it is impossible to fail an inspection.
Too bad barn eggs are no better.

A number of our members on the old forum site adopted cage hens. They had wonderful stories of these hens seeing the outside for the first time. Hens deserve a life like that, not the lives they have now.
