Eggs are among the most consumed foods in the world, with many people eating them daily. Eggs are delicious, they’re simple due to how quick they are to cook, and they are an incredible source of protein, which helps our bodies stay happy and healthy. They form an integral and ubiquitous part of many meals. But not everybody knows how those eggs are really made. Hens on battery farms produce most of the eggs we eat. These hens are held in very tight cages. The cages are so small that the hens cannot move around freely, stretch out their wings or lie down comfortably, which is crucial to their well-being.
Battery farm chickens live excruciating lives. Things that are second nature to them, such as dustbathing and scratching the earth to dig up things to eat, are impossible. These pursuits are vital to their joy and well-being. The cages that they stay in have wire floors that can injure their feet and cause them pain. This can cause bruising and infections which make their lives even worse. The hens are housed under bright lights that fool their bodies into laying more eggs than they would in the wild. This means that they are overworked and not allowed to rest. And these hens are frequently treated with medications and hormones that can be harmful to themselves as well as the humans who eat their eggs. This brings many health issues into the picture.
Battery farming is cruel to the hens and is not even necessary. There are kinder and more humane ways to raise hens that allow them to live more like hens. On free-range farms, for example, hens roam freely, search for food, and enjoy fresh air and sunlight. They are not kept in small cages where they can not move at all. They can roam the area and lead happier lives instead. The eggs produced by these hens are also more nutritious and taste better, which is good for everyone.
The practice of battery farming has insidious dangers not just for hens, but also for the humans who consume their eggs. Eggs from battery-farmed chickens can contain disease-causing germs and viruses, including salmonella. This is because hens are kept in filthy, overcrowded, stressful conditions, and they do not receive good veterinary care. "Keeping hens in these kinds of dirty environments makes it more likely that these bad bugs will spread, which can make people sick when they eat the eggs."
And in our daily lives we completely ignore animal welfare. We are focused on profit and productivity, prioritizing human needs. But we must not forget that these hens are living creatures just like us. They should not be treated like a pest. For us to consider the impact of our decisions on these animals and to advocate for them. By supporting better farming practices, we are positively impacting their lives.
Battery farming in itself poses many ethical dilemmas. Not only is it unfair to the hens; it’s also unfair to the people who eat their eggs. So people need to start asking about where their eggs come and select a better method to farm them. Hemei means to offer the finest eggs laid by happy, healthy hens. Hens lay healthy eggs, if Hens are treated well, and so we look after all Hens like ours, which are well looked after and treated with the care they need.
