cruelty at Foster Farms in California. For more information, visit

“Animal Liberation - History in the Making”

whaling and sealing operations, to the E.L.F., dedicated to taking the

profit motive out of environmental destruction by causing economic

damage to businesses, to activists of the A.L.F. using non-violent

direct action in the defense of non-human life. For more information,

" Out of the Pit: Dog Fighting in Chicago "

sport.

 

January 25: Double Feature

 

Premiere: EBAA's California Egg Industry Documentary

Each year over 19 million egg-laying hens are raised in concentrated

confinement to produce table eggs for California consumers. According

to the California Poultry Workgroup, close to 100 percent of egg-layers

are confined to battery cages. For more information, visit

www.cal-eggs.com.

 

“Wegmans Cruelty”

“Wegmans Cruelty” is a half hour documentary produced by a small

investigative team from the organization Compassionate Consumers.

Organization members contacted Wegmans Food Markets to try to hold some

meaningful dialogue about the conditions at Wegmans Egg Farm, and were

then misled and dismissed by Wegmans representatives. The team set out

to capture actual footage inside the farm and create a film based on

their experience. For more information, visit www.wegmanscruelty.com.
