Egg laying hens are arguably the most abused animals on today’s factory farms.  More often than not, they are confined so tightly to wire cages that they cannot stretch their wings, clean themselves, turn around, or exhibit any of their normal behaviors at all.  They are subjected to toxic fumes from the pools of waste [...]
