Activists recount their experiences in battery cage facilities. Birds are often trapped in the wire of their cages unable to reach food or water. Sickness and injury are not uncommon as the animals live in their own waste and are constantly inhaling noxious ammonia fumes. Many birds, unable to survive the battery cage life, die and rot in their cages with other hens still producing eggs for human consumption.
Activists share their experiences inside massive battery cage facilities, encountering birds packed into cages so tight they can't spread their wings or move about freely.
