I love chickens. I think they are the most life loving animal on the planet. They grab onto their lives with gusto and relish their connection with the earth with such passion.
To breed them in such a way which makes them produce an egg a day absolutely rips their bodies apart. They develop egg yolk peritonitis and die an awful death. They are depleted in vitamins and minerals from having to produce so many eggs.
The hens in this image are in their night time shed at a free range farm. This hen sitting down, more than likely, has egg yolk peritonitis. She won't be given vet treatment. No chickens in farms receive vet treatment because it costs more than the chicken is apparently worth. She will die of infection sitting on that barren floor.
You may be sitting there reading this scoffing at me saying "it's only a chicken", but what does it matter what species it is?. Pain, fear, illness and comfort is the same in anyones language. Your eggs are a product of a little chicken who wants to live her life beyond the age of 18 months old (that's when she'll be slaughtered). Your eggs are a product of a chicken who is dying on a floor or a cage somewhere.
Your eggs are a product of our complete disrespect and use of another's body and life.
