EBAA’s New Egg Film Online

 

In the United States, ninety-five percent of eggs are produced by

hens in battery cages which are packed into warehouses. A

significant share of these eggs come from California. EBAA

released a film documenting the squalid conditions of egg-laying

hens and is encouraging people to see for themselves where their

eggs come from.

The Urban Chicken Phenomenon

 

Courtesy of Foster Farms, Emery was deemed to become one of the

many ‘all natural’ chicken breast fillets found in the frozen

food aisle of a local Safeway. However, in a string of luck, this

plump rooster made an unusual detour from the normal life of a

bird raised for meat. One warm August night, rescuers with East

Bay Animal Advocates discovered the disabled four week-old

broiler at a factory farm.
