Now, laying hens have cages with a floor of wire, 2/3 the size of a piece of paper for several 4 lb. chickens. they cannot turn around or spread their wings.

"The current industrial farm animal production (IFAP) system often poses unacceptable risks to public health, the environment and the welfare of the animals themselves, according to an extensive 2½-year examination conducted by the Pew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production (PCIFAP), in a study released today."(04/29/2008)
