There’s no difference in animal stress with caged or cage-free eggs. And cage-free hens DIE more.

Animal welfare?

The best thing that concerned citizens can do, is simply give up eggs. They are not good for you. so why eat then.

Most people are horrified to know that the majority of hens are crammed into tiny cages where they can barely move their entire life. While the public is against this form of animal cruelty, the egg industry as a whole has yet to get with the times and move away from using inhumane battery cages. I hope this National Egg Month brings the egg industry one step closer to eliminating battery cages in this country forever.

We can all support animals every time we pick up our forks by leaving animal products, like eggs from caged hens, off our plates. Check out www.EggIndustry.com for more information about the cruelty of battery cage eggs, and www.TryVeg.com for info about eating a healthy, delicious vegetarian/vegan diet! Great points!
