613 Chickens Liberated - Egg Farm Industry Exposed

Communique

With the June 23rd premier of Hollywood's new film "Chicken Run", the Animal Liberation Front (A.L.F.) exposed the truth behind egg farms. The A.L.F. is claiming responsibility for the liberation of 613 chickens from Sunny-Cal Eggs in Beaumont, CA (east of L.A.).

As audiences watched "Chicken Run" for the first time, the A.L.F. took action by breaking into sheds at this modern day concentration camp. We obtained video documentation of the horrendous and inhumane conditions inside this factory farm.

Billions of real live chickens suffer immensely on real battery egg farms every day. Just like those in the movie, each and every one of these chickens has her own personality, the capacity to suffer and a desire to live. And just like the characters in the movie, the owners of such animal concentration camps care about nothing more than profits. To maximize production and profits, 4-6 birds are crammed into cages barely larger than half a sheet of newspaper.

All 613 chickens were placed in homes and will never spend another day in a cage. These birds will never have to live and endure the endless torture and misery placed upon them by this cruel industry. They will never have their beaks cut from their bodies with a hot blade. They will never be killed simply because they can no longer produce eggs for human consumption.

With vegan dog treats and manipulation of gates, we fenced off guard dogs, cut through 5 perimeter fences and entered massive compound where we carefully loaded the chickens into carriers and delivered them to safety.

Until human beings learn to take responsibility for this earth and all her creatures, it will remain necessary for compassionate individuals to act outside the law on behalf of the innocent.
