Think Cage Free Eggs Means Happy Healthy Chickens? Think Again-Direct Action Everywhere Uncovers Ugly Truth

Animal rights group, Direct Action Everywhere has uncovered the truth and ABC filmed the truth at Safeway

– Share this news segment, and ask your friends to sign the petition to Safeway!

A few weeks ago, I sent you the story of a little hen named Scarlett, rescued from being crushed to death at a “humane” Safeway farm. Well, I’ve got AMAZING news: ABC outlets in over a dozen major media markets aired Scarlett’s story today as part of a broader exposé of the egg industry. Millions of Americans will now see the terrifying reality of cage-free eggs.

We made this happen together. We have no press budget, so mainstream media picks up our stories when they see us trending in social media. And because of you (and activists like you across the world), ABC flew a crew all the way to California to capture our latest.

Now here’s what you can do:

Scarlett made it back from the brink of death, but miracles like that are impossible without you. Let’s keep pushing until the entire world sees the truth: suffering animals need to be rescued, not used like machines!

Arwen Carlin Thank you, Direct Action Everywhere for exposing the truth. Even the hens they showed with the family have serious reproductive issues because they have been genetically engineered to lay so many eggs. Not to mention, all their brothers were ground up alive the day they were born. There is no humane way to exploit another animal’s reproductive system.

Kitty Jones I’m so glad this got coverage! Even beyond what she saw on the farm itself, there is also immense suffering before and after the hens arrive that these awful places. from hatchery to slaughterhouse its all violence and oppression. Everyday the truth is coming and those who profit from animal suffering are having to defend themselves like never before!

Steve Erlsten In their follow-up, ABC talked to Dr. Darrin Karcher, whose career centers around promoting exploitation of hens and turkeys. Dr. Karcher says “from a science standpoint, there is nothing there that I am aware of that would allow us to say the birds are happier in this type of system versus” caged egg production. When animals’ well-being compete with profits, the profits always win.
