Do you ever think about where your eggs come from? The majority of eggs we consume are produced by hens confined to battery cages. These battery cages are tiny cages where up to 10 hens can be crammed in one cage. The cages are so small that the hens can barely move. Which are stacked one over the other, enabling farmers to manage many hens in one go. But this arrangement is not in the least bit good for the hens. Hens kept in battery cages live in dark and filthy conditions; they lack access to the great outdoors and to fresh air and sunshine.
The environmental consequences of battery cage manufacturing are far-reaching. The cages produce huge amounts of hen waste, which can dirty the air and water around them with contamination. Battery cages also waste a lot of vital resources such as water, energy, and food. This can result in dire consequences, like destroying trees and polluting nature. Because those hens are living in cages, they aren't healthy -- far from it -- for lack of exercise and sunlight, which are truly important for their general well-being.
Not only is eating eggs from caged hens bad for the hens themselves, it is also bad for people’s health. Such keeping of hens in small cages can aid in disseminating diseases. These illnesses can cause people to become ill and, in some instances, cause food poisoning. Since hens live in horrible conditions, the eggs they are laying will never be the same quality as eggs that are farmed sustainably. In order to not get sick and to eat eggs of good quality, it is better to buy eggs from free-range hens. Free-range hens are able to roam outdoors and live a better life.
Battery cages cause hens tremendous physical and psychological suffering. The cramped space and absence of open air and natural light can result in grave issues in the hens’ bones and muscles. Hens kept in such close quarters are under immense stress. This rat race can lead them to turn on one another. In some, the stress is so extreme that hens will peck at their own feathers or even at their own eggs. That is evidence of the terrible abuse that battery cages inflict on the physical and emotional physiology of the hens. They deserve to live in better conditions in a happier and healthier manner.
While battery hens may allow for cheaper and quicker egg production, we need to think about the long-term outlays those eggs will cost. Hens in industrial farms do not live in good conditions, and this can lead to a reduction in the number of good-quality eggs and, therefore, tear down a farmer's profits in the long run. The hens must be healthy and happy to produce, so if they are not, they can't produce as many eggs, he explained. In the long run, the damage to both the environment and people’s health can carry a big monetary price too. But consumers are learning more and more about the issues associated with battery cage conditions, and they should not be baited into purchasing eggs from such hens. Now there's a growing shift toward free-range and organic egg farming where they treat the hens a lot better. Farmers who still use battery cages may be losing customers and revenue as more consumers support humane farming practices.
