Starving hens

Article Abstract:

A survey by the United Poultry Concerns reveals that the 15 top egg industry firms in the US regularly withhold food from their hens in order to induce molting. The practice, which lasts between 5 to 14 days at a time, results in the generation of new feathers at the expense of some 10% of the hen population.

The free-range myth

Article Abstract:

Free-range poultry and eggs are not always raised under humane conditions, contrary to popular claims. Making false free-range claims could violate the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 and the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
