The real cost of caged eggs
因为缺少正常的日照，微量元素，蛋白质流失严重却供应不足，鸡就会互相啄羽，啄肛，形成啄羽辟，啄肛辟，肛门被啄流血。常年如此。死后便被堆弃在一起，让我想到了二战时候的集中营。有的后来被解救的鸡很长一段时间都不会走路！
看完我流泪了，你呢？
因为饲养密度大，鸡群很容易得传染病，例如比较常见的salmonella （沙门氏菌），从而使鸡蛋的使用安全性达不到保障，出现腹泻，呕吐等症状，严重则危及生命。
caged chickens一辈子只有A4纸那么大的活动空间，连躺下休息都是奢侈的！
Battery Cages
The vast majority of eggs produced and consumed in the United States come from conventional, large-scale battery cage operations. Hens spend their entire lives with up to eight other birds in wire cages as small as 67 square inches, a space about the size of a single sheet of letter-sized paper [source: Humane Society]. These hens are so cramped that most are unable to stretch their wings or engage in other natural behaviors, such as nesting, perching and dust-bathing. They don't have access to natural light, and as many as 100,000 birds may be grouped together under a single roof.
Cage-free Eggs
Cage-free birds engage in such natural behaviors as nesting, walking and stretching their wings, but, like the birds forced to live in battery cages, they're usually pumped full of antibiotics. Most live in flocks of thousands of hens inside warehouses and are never granted access to the outdoors. However, most experts agree that cage-free birds live in significantly better conditions than those confined in conventional production systems.
Organic Eggs
Even though organic eggs have no added nutritional benefits over conventional and cage-free eggs, for both health and humanitarian reasons, organic eggs are a concerned consumer's best bet. The organic label is the only label regulated by the United States Department of Agriculture, which attests that the hens that laid these eggs are healthy and engage in natural behaviors. In short, this means that the hens are cage-free, have access to the outdoors and direct sunlight with an option for shade, are provided with an exercise area and are fed certified organic feed that contains no pesticides, drugs, antibiotics or animal byproducts. Third-party auditors evaluate each organic producer's compliance on an individual basis.
与我无关》？？NOOOOO！与你息息相关！每放弃买一盒caged eggs就可能挽救很多母鸡的命运！也给家人买个安心！
humane（人道）一词来源于human（人类），也就是说，身为人类，应该更人道的想问题，人道的对待其他生命。 |
