723:
There’s a belief
that eggs produced by free-ranging hens come from happy hens. For sure, they’re
probably happier than their sisters in cages, but when they become no longer
economically viable they go to the same cruel deaths as their caged sisters.
A
vegetarian friend of mine, who still eats eggs, reckons she pays three times
the price for her free range eggs. And because these eggs cost more to produce,
it’s the ‘battery egg’ which
is used in commercial food products that contain egg.
Most eggs eaten for breakfast
are from caged hens, there are ten million in Australian cages and three
billion caged hens world wide.
I shall be interviewing one
of these three billion tomorrow.
