Join Switzerland & Ban The Egg Industry From Grinding Live Chicks!

    Egg producers are slaughtering millions of male chicks by throwing them into high speed grinders. Add your name if you want to ban this cruel practice, NOW!

    Can you imagine throwing a living thing into a wood chipper?

    That's basically what many egg producers are doing, by the truck load.

    "In the U.S. alone, more than 260 million male chicks are killed in the egg industry every year… that’s around 30,000 newborn chicks killed every hour," according to HumaneFacts.org.

    Why?

    Because male chicks are unmarketable.

    Chickens bred for laying eggs are totally different from those bred for meat, so the male chicks cannot be sold into the meat industry.

    Switzerland recently took a stand for the humane treatment of animals by banning this practice.

    The United States is lagging behind other First World nations by allowing this practice to continue.

    The egg industry is aware of this issue, and they recently made a shrewd marketing move...

    "United Egg Producers, the industry group that represents 95 percent of egg producers in the country, announced that they would end the process of “culling” male chicks by 2020. Instead, they’ll use technology that determines the sex of a chicken embryo still inside an egg," reported the Huffington Post.

    But there's one big problem with their claim... The technology isn't yet commercially available. An industry representative admitted as much in the same article.

    Besides, they don't have to wait for this specific technology to become available to do the right thing. There are other alternatives.

    Meanwhile, they continue to dump male chicks into a high-speed grinder while they're still moving, breathing, and crying out for their mothers.

    If they had any real intention of stopping this barbaric practice voluntarily, they would already have done so, long ago.

    That's why we're calling on the U.S. Congress to make sure the egg industry doesn't have a choice.

    Don't you want to stop this cruel, heartless practice of throwing live chicks into machines that tear their flesh into shreds?

    Then add your name to ask Senator Bernie Sanders to draft legislation that would ban this inhumane practice, before millions more chicks are forced to suffer and die!
