L.J THE HEN WANTS TO KNOW, HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED THE EGG?

EGGS ARE MARKETED AS NATURAL, INEXPENSIVE, AND HARMLESS, BUT HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THE EGG IS NOT ALL IT'S CRACKED UP TO BE?

EGG PUNS ASIDE, EVERY EGG CONSUMED BY A PERSON WAS LAID BY A HEN. THAT HEN MIGHT NOT HAVE THE LIFE YOU THINK SHE DOES.

THE EGG INDUSTRY WANTS YOU TO THINK YOUR EGGS COME FROM HERE:

WHEN IN REALITY, 98% OF EGGS COME FROM OVERCROWDED WAREHOUSES.

AND TRUST US, WE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SAY NEXT...

CHICKENS LAY EGGS WHETHER WE EAT THEM OR NOT!

WELL THAT'S TRUE, BUT LAYER HENS ARE SPECIFICALLY BRED FOR MASS PRODUCTION - THEIR REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMS ARE MANIPULATED TO LAY 300 EGGS OR MORE A YEAR.

BUT WHAT IF I ONLY BUY CAGE-FREE, FREE-RANGE EGGS?

THE VAST MAJORITY OF CAGE-FREE, ORGANIC OR FREE-RANGE EGGS STILL COME FROM OVERCROWDED WAREHOUSES. WHAT YOU'RE PAYING EXTRA FOR IS JUST A LABEL THAT BENEFITS THE INDUSTRY, NOT THE HENS.

EATING EGGS IS FINE BECAUSE NO CHICKENS ARE KILLED.

ACUTALLY, THAT'S NOT TRUE. WHEN CHICKS ARE BEING HATCHED TO BE USED FOR EGG LAYING, HALF OF THOSE ARE BOYS. SINCE THEY CAN'T BE RAISED TO LAY EGGS AND ARE TOO SMALL TO BE MEAT CHICKENS, THEY ARE KILLED ON DAY ONE. FOR EVERY HEN, THERE'S A MALE CHICK WHO HAS BEEN KILLED.

I LOVE ANIMALS AND AM A VEGETARIAN, BUT I STILL EAST EGGS.

SINCE YOU LOVE ANIMALS, IT'S IMPORTANT TO REGOGNIZE THAT MOST LAYER HENS ARE KILLED BY THE AGE OF THREE BECAUSE THEY'RE CONSIDERED SPENT (MEANING THEY AREN'T PRODUCING EGGS). AND THOSE NOT KILLED ARE LIKELY TO DIE FROM REPRODUCTIVE CANCER OR MALNUTRITION. HENS FEEL PAIN AND SUFFER JUST LIKE ANY OTHER ANIMAL.

BUT CHICKENS DON'T HAVE FEELINGS. THEY'RE NOT LIKE DOGS OR CATS, COWS OR PIGS.

HENS ARE INTELLIGENT AND SOCIAL ANIMALS. THEY CAN RECOGNIZE UP TO 100 DIFFERENT FACES AND ENJOY DUST BATHS AND SUNBATHING. HENS ARE PROTECTIVE OF THEIR YOUNG AND PREFER PRIVATE SPOTS TO NEST AND COMMINCATE WITH THEIR CHICKS IN THEIR EGGS BEFORE THEY'RE HATCHED. NOT TO MENTION, THE PROCESS OF LAYING AN EGG IS STRESSFUL ON THEIR BODIES TO BEGIN WITH.
