Eleven hens in a cage.

Eleven hens are crowded into this battery cage. They do not have enough space to stand fully upright, turn around, or even stretch their wings without bumping into their cage mates. These hens are still fairly white because they are so young.

Title:
Dustbathing.

To stay clean, chickens will dustbath. This helps remove any excess oils and parasites that may be on their body. Hens in battery cages are forced to stand on painful wire mesh floors that do not allow for dustbathing.

Title:
Contagious diseases are a problem.

Summary:
The overcrowding creates a fertile breeding ground for contagious disease. Antibiotics are routinely added to the hen's food in an effort to prevent disease, but this leads to drug-resistant strains of diseases that become a serious human health problem.

Title:
Filth and disease.

The cages are stacked six tiers high and the rows go on for more than the length of a football field. The air is thick with feathers and ammonia and difficult to breath, causing many of the hens to develop respiratory and eye problems.

Filthy eggs.

The filth and manure will be washed off the eggs before being sold to consumers, but no matter how hard one scrubs them, they cannot remove the death, misery and suffering of the innocent hens.

There's a reason jail is considered punishment.

Summary:
Animals are innocent of wrong-doing, so why do we confine them in Gulag-style prisons? Confinement prevents normal social relations, freedom of movement, proper hygiene, and the joy of living. Set the animals free, go vegan!

Still eating.

It's amazing how big cows can get just from eating grass. If you think of it, the largest, strongest animals such as gorillas, zebras, cows and elephants are all vegetarian, which sort of shoots down the whole "I need to eat meat for my protein"
