Between February 23-24, 2012, Animal Place and Harvest Home Animal Sanctuary coordinated the largest farm animal rescue in California history. More than 4,400 hens were pulled from A&L Poultry in Turlock, California after the owner left the hens without food for more than two weeks.
More than 3,200 of those hens arrived to Animal Place’s two sanctuaries in Grass Valley and Vacaville. This video shows the reality of egg farms across the country.
Even if you aren’t committed to become vegetarian or vegan, I implore you to give up the eating of eggs. Chickens are treated abysmally in this country, and “free range” is utter bullshit.
Don’t give people who peddle in the suffering of defenseless, sentient creatures one penny. Doing so insults all animals. And you.
A new ad campaign for animals is turning heads. Here’s Copyranter:
The campaign is for German non-profit Bund, “Friends of the Earth.” It won a Gold Lion at last Summer’s Cannes Festival, and it just garnered a Silver at Europe’s prestigious Epica awards.
