Did you know every year over 12 million day-old male chicks are 'disposed' of by the egg industry either being gassed to death or ground up a live in a 'macerator'? Also all laying egg chickens have their beaks cut off with a hot iron, the pain has been likened to having the tips of your fingers cut off — without pain relief. These animals are tortured in unimaginable horrible conditions when they have done nothing to deserve it. We need to stop this cruelty! By signing this petition you are one step closer to stopping factory farming.
