Jailing hens in sunless industrial facilities and confining them to small cages is cruel, unjust treatment. There is never a moment of joy or comfort for these unfortunate animals stuck in these fece-laden, fetid environments. Little wonder bird flu has become so rife in these places of stress and misery. They need time outdoors in the fresh air and sunlight.
Rosalind supported: The World is Watching: Global Companies exposed for profiting from cruel cagesHens suffer up to 30 hours of cage confinement for each egg they lay. They cannot spread their wings. They have strong desires to express their natural behaviors: dusbathing, perching in trees at night, exploring the environment, and building social groups, but in a cage, they are deprived of all of these. They want to find a private and safe place to lay their egg, but they can't, they have to do it cramped next to the other hens. Wings are an appendage that is the physical manifestation of freedom. It's perverse and tragic to cage a bird. Chickens are intelligent, sensitive, social animals. Letting them out of the cages is the very least we can do for them.
Mark supported: The World is Watching: Global Companies exposed for profiting from cruel cagesI eat meat and dairy products but don't like to see any animal suffer. We owe all these creatures respect and humane treatment. That is why I no longer frequent KFC; all KFCs in Ontario except for Thunder Bay and Ottawa are supplied with Halal butchered chickens. This should not be allowed in this country.
Harald supported: The World is Watching: Global Companies exposed for profiting from cruel cagesDenying a hen her natural behavior is nothing less than animal torture. Imagine living in a cage without room to spread your arms. You would literally go crazy. Well, hens react similarly. Hens are often viewed as an egg-laying machine and nothing else. That does not mean they don't suffer both physically and psychologically when abnormally confined. Human beings should be better than cruel custodians of other species. We use hens for our own purposes and do not care for the animal on any level except as a thing. "A country can be judged by how it treats its animals." a quote from an unknown source. To torture another animal is inexcusable. We must be better than that.

Gretchen supported: The World is Watching: Global Companies exposed for profiting from cruel cagesChickens are sentient, intelligent and feeling beings, not objects to be used for what humans want without even taking a moment to learn and acknowledge what the chickens are going through to provide for us.
