An HSUS investigator worked inside a Cal-Maine factory egg farm in Waelder, Texas, and documented multiple abuses and food safety threats. Cal-Maine is the nation’s top egg producer.

Here is a list of the cruelty they uncovered:

* Birds trapped in cage wires, unable to reach food or water. Cage wires can trap hens’ wings, necks, legs and feet, causing other birds to trample the weakened animals, usually resulting in a slow, painful death.
* Abandoned hens. Live birds were roaming outside their cages, some falling into manure pits.
* Injuries. Birds had bloody feet and broken legs from cage wires.
* Overcrowding injuries. Cal-Maine crams multiple birds into one cage, giving each hen only 67 square inches of cage space—less than a sheet of paper on which to live for more than a year.
* Eggs covered in blood and feces.

Compassionate consumers can  choose to stop supporting this sort of cruelty. Kind people can end farmed animal abuse by rejecting eggs and other animal products and adopt a vegan diet.
