United Egg Producers Think We’re Stupid.

The United Egg Producers have issued an extremely ridiculous argument for why hens are kept in tiny disease infested cages.  The organization posted on their website:

“We also want to protect them from their natural predators like fox, hawks, coyotes, and even stray cats and dogs; and we want to make sure they are protected from the weather … snow and ice in the winter, searing heat in the summer and thunderstorms and hail almost any time of the year.”

God forbid a natural predator eat the chicken before someone at KFC could pay $3.99 for it.
