▶ As long as factory farmers’ top priority is profit, animals will pay the price. 😞 Part 2️⃣ of 3️⃣ ⤵️ Have a look below at why consuming eggs is gross, health-damaging, and cruel. ⤵️ ● Cruel Female chicks survive being minced alive, but instead, they will have their beaks cut off (or burnt off) without anaesthesia or pain relief. This is done in an attempt to prevent the hens from injuring themselves or each other when living in such cramped conditions. Chickens in battery cages live in such small areas that they are unable to spread their wings - ever. Even in the best-case scenario, a hen spends her life crowded in a space about the size of a file drawer with several other hens, unable to lift a single wing. Disease also runs rampant in the cramped sheds, given that the egg-laying hens are forced to urinate and defecate on each other. After two years of living in these conditions, the birds have suffered from severe bone loss and tens of millions suffer new broken bones as they're ripped from their cages. The hens' bodies become exhausted, and they are shipped to slaughterhouses - where fragile legs are forced into shackles and their throats are cut. "Consumers should be aware that this is what they are paying for when they buy eggs, regardless of whether they are from caged or free-range hens," said a spokesman for animal rights organization Animal Aid. ⤵️ ● Cancer risk Cholesterol consumption was found to be a strong predictor of liver cancer. Compared with men who rarely eat eggs, men eating even less than one egg a day appear to have twice the risk of prostate cancer progression, according to plant-based physician Dr Greger. In addition, choline, a compound found in eggs, is converted into a toxin called trimethylamine by bacteria existing in meat-eaters' guts. The toxin was found to increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and premature death. ⤵️ Credit ➡️ 📹 @animalsaustralia, 🖼 @thehumaneleague & 🗒 @plantbasednews ⤵️ #eggs #chickens #plantbased #veganlife #mercyforanimals #govegan #vegansofig #bethechange #friendsnotfood #plantbaseddiet #animalrights #factoryfarming #farmlife #cruelty #makeadifference #ditcheggs #truthabouteggs (at Cape Town, Western Cape) https://www.instagram.com/p/BngFAGcHAuC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sirc0z1mllas
