Egg-Laying Hens:

Caged hens are crammed into tiny, filthy metal cages where they have as much room as an A4 sized piece of paper. They basically go insane with stress, and although their beaks are usually seared off when they are born, they often pull out each others feathers or go bald from being so sick. They are slaughtered after their egg production drops, which is around 9 months to one year. 

Barn hens are crammed in their thousands into filthy windowless sheds. There are so many birds they can have very little room to move. Like battery hens, these birds feathers fall out or are plucked out by others from stress. These sheds are often so dirty the birds can have severely painful infected feet and underbellies. Like battery hens, they are slaughtered when they around a year old, after egg production drops.

Free range hens, like barn hens, are crammed in their thousands into dirty windowless sheds. They are allowed access outside, however, there are usually so many of them, the majority of hens aren’t able to get outside regularly and are confined to their filthy ‘barn’. Like other laying hens, free range hens are often debeaked shortly after birth. 

Other things to consider

Millions of male chicks are ground up alive or suffocated after birth as they are a by-product of the egg industry.  

Worldwide, there are currently 6.6 Billion egg-laying hens suffering right now in these awful conditions.

Chickens are more affectionate, intelligent and interesting than most people think. Just watch the video below.

Garden to table rainbow salad! Fresh veggies are the yummiest 😋🌿. Kale, swiss chard, yellow zucchini, cherry tomatoes, baby amaranth leaves, roasted potatoes (I steamed them first, then when they were cooked through I tossed them in the oven with a few sprinkles of garlic powder for about 10 mins to crisp up), cucumber, nasturtiums (edible flowers), and the only two not homegrown ingredients: avocado & lime. To learn how to make the little avocado “flower”, check out @secretsquirrelfood… she has a video showing exactly how to do it! #gardentotable #homegrown #bestofvegan #forksoverknives #foods4thought #vegan

“I have unfortunately been inside slaughterhouses and can tell you that the animals are not willingly walking up to the end of the kill line and sticking their necks out. These animals fight with every bit of strength they have left at the end of that kill line. They don’t want to die and they know it’s coming.”  ~ Cayce Mell (Peaceable Kingdom)

Animal rights are not a gift we give animals. They are a birth right we have taken from them.

Veganism isn't extreme

Defending the rights and individual lives of non-human animals and challenging speciesism is one of the least extreme things I can think of.

What is extreme is justifying the harm, exploitation and otherwise devaluing of other animals on the basis of arbritrary values (species, intelligence, language, ability to fight back etc.) just for your own benefit.
