EXPOSED: Life Inside a Battery Cage on a Mexican Hen Farm

[Music]
our investigators have gained access to
factory farms where egg laying hens
live the public had never seen inside
battery caged farms in Mexico until
now in giant sheds with no access to
Fresh Air the smell of excrement and
decomposing bodies is
unbearable the air is full of dust
making it difficult to
breathe the terrible conditions affect
the sensitive hens a big percentage of
them suffer terribly until they die
there is no veterinarian to take care of
these animals it is more profitable for
the industry if the hens continue to
suffer
hens are very curious animals who like
to explore their
surroundings in factory farms they are
kept in small and dirty metal
cages the space in which each one of
them lives is about the size of a piece
of
paper they can't even extend their wings
all their Natural Instincts are
[Music]
denied the weakest hens get sick and
agonize in
pain the lack of space results in them
being trampled on by other birds their
Cage's floor is made of wire this
results in their claws getting caught in
the metal trapped in the wire they
experience constant
pain forced molting is common practice
on factory farms in
Mexico farmers take away the hen water
and food for 3 Days to speed up their
laying
cycle this results in hens losing up to
20% of their body
weight many of them die during this
brutal
process you can change their life please
help hens in Mexico and around the world
by leaving eggs off your plate
