The cruelty involved with egg-production is frankly unspeakable. The

should appall everyone. Read these 10 facts about the egg industry in the
U.S. and share them with friends and family:

- Egg laying hens are routinely mutilated
- 95 percent of U.S. eggs come from caged birds
- Caged hens are unable to extend their wings
- Nearly one-third of hens arriving at slaughterhouses have
broken bones
- Forced molting kills thousands of hens
