Across India, approximately 100 million laying hens are living out their lives in small, wire battery cages. These cages are so tiny that the birds cannot fully stretch their wings, walk, or engage in many other natural behaviors. The majority of the eggs produced by these suffering birds are destined for the plates of middle and upper class consumers in urban areas.
Consuming battery eggs is cruel and unnecessary. There are less inhumane, cage-free systems for producing eggs. There are also many vegetarian alternatives to consuming eggs.
You can help stop the use of battery cages and greatly reduce the suffering of millions of egg-laying hens. Sign this "no battery eggs" pledge and encourage your friends and family to do the same. Working together, we have the power to make a difference for animals.
Thanks for your support morganlee and everyone else who supports the ban on battery cages I hear that there is a law coming out in the future think 2012 and it will ban the use of battery cages in briton but would be nice to have the ban worldwide.

Wait a minute! This doesn't make much sense. Are you saying these cages are electrified? If so, why? The chickens are already confined in a cage what's the point of electrifying it? Electric fences don't work on chickens anyway because of their feathers.
I think this is nothing more than yet another PETA scam to get people to stop eating anything from animals. Anybody remember the one about KFC breeding chickens without feet or heads? What a load of BS. KFC doesn't even raise chickens, they buy them from hundreds of chicken farms.
In the Uk this has been on going for many years, because of it's cruelty, as far as i'm aware the cages are not elecrtified, but the conditions are cruel.

I understand what you mean now, it is called Battery Farming just a terminology for the cages
