How timely, given my recent posts, that I just came across this as I was going through Facebook.

While the video may be new, these practices have been going on for YEARS.

This is the reality of what our dollars support every time we buy eggs.
And this is not just about large factory farms.
Many “free range” farms employ the same practices of painfully de-beaking baby chicks and subjecting male chicks to live mutilation.
You can read more about that here.

Somehow many of us (myself included) grow up with this false idea that these chickens are just willingly giving up their reproductive secretions and bodies for to enjoy. I’m posting this so that you will know exactly where your food is coming from so that when you are deciding what to eat you can make truly informed decisions. Personally when I see things like this I feel obligated to shout out loud about it.
