Investigation of Weaver Brothers Egg Farm

Mercy For Animals investigators have again gone undercover behind closed doors to shed light on the inherent cruelties of battery cage facilities. The investigation began in December, 2002 after Weaver Brothers Egg Farm, located in Versailles, Ohio, failed to respond to a certified letter requesting a tour and expressing concern over the farm's treatment of hens. Following stringent industry-guideline biosecurity measures, and armed with video and photo equipment, MFA investigators made nighttime visits to the factory documenting case after case of animal neglect and abuse.

If farmers are going to keep chickens in cages for eggs at least build them a home to lay their eggs in nests and feed them so they can produce more eggs so they can become plucky and strong to survive twice as its life span.

I have one word. SICK. Although this does not stop me from buying eggs, you have done a great job of showing me what scum America is becoming. Bleh. As an Ohioan I am truly disgusted. I will not stop eating meat, as it is very important to my health (I am apparently underweight - not anorexic, I have a high metabolism). Meat is key. I am truly sickened. I will never look at a chicken, cow, fish, pig, turkey, or egg the same way. I hope you do well in stopping these horrific acts.

One of the ways we can stop the inhumane cruel brutality and torture to these beautiful animals is to consume less meat, dairy, eggs. I realize ppl will never stop eating meat, but if we could cut back 2 jst a couple x's per wk, these animals stand a better chance. So much cruelty around the wrld but not limited to farming animals. This is why I don't go to circuses, rodeos and any place they make animals do tricks. I'd much rather watch in their natural enviro or on tv being filmed.

Consuming meat is not an evil as some would suggest, but treating animals in this way is totally unexceptable.

Problem is greed and a culture of overconsuming. Animals have feelings, this is a fact but does a man who is protected by law and raking in money while people grow fat eating too much really care?

Im for eating meat because we also have a role to play in the natural balance but these practises need to change.
