Please purchase type 0 (organic) or type 1 (free-range) eggs, as other eggs come from hens that are exploited and mistreated in factory farms. Or, even better, do not consume eggs at all, as even free-range hens living in liberty meet a cruel end at the slaughterhouse.
Imagine that you or one of your loved ones is kidnapped and locked away for the rest of your life in a small cage; not in a prison cell of several square meters with access to a courtyard, library, etc., but in a cage where you can barely move and which is already overcrowded with other people.
The environment inside is so stressful that they attack one another, surrounded by toxicity. To make matters worse, you do not even step on the ground, but on the bars of the cage. Just below your feet, it is filled with waste and urine.
You can do practically nothing that you enjoy or that is part of your nature, being deprived of all life’s pleasures except for eating feed and drinking water. In fact, the majority of hens in Spain live in these conditions.
Some may think that humans cannot be compared to animals, but in reality, hens (just like pigs, cows, etc.) are similar to young children. According to scientific research, they have an intelligence similar to that of four-year-old children.
And they have a range of emotions and sensations like those of humans: they feel physical pain just as we do, as well as fear, stress, sadness, joy, desire, frustration, love, anger, aggression, loneliness, etc.
The degree to which they feel all of this is similar to ours, in the same way that a child feels as much pain as an adult even if they cannot yet do what an engineer or an architect does.
Abuse and cruelty toward hens is a phenomenon on a “super-mega-large” scale: 7 BILLION with a B are slaughtered every year, 70 billion in 10 years, and 210 billion in 30 years. It is, therefore, a population much larger than the human population of only 8 billion.
If you want to contribute to a better world, with less suffering and injustice, please share these messages on all your social networks and with all or nearly all of your contacts. If only a minority of us do this, it will eventually reach almost everyone. You can also persuade people in your circle, educate your children, vote for anti-cruelty parties, donate money, and volunteer.
Thank you,
Xavier Paya
