L214 Denounces The Breeding Conditions Of Hens

Handout photo - On Wednesday 21 April, the animal rights organisation L214 denounced in a video the conditions in which hens are reared on the ground, with eggs classified as "code 2", even though this system, which is currently in full expansion, is presented as a satisfactory solution to replace cages. A video shot at farms in the Côtes-d'Armor and Vendée regions, western France, one of which has 30,000 birds, shows hens crammed onto shelves, with no access to the outside or natural light. Also shown are deplumed, dying or dead hens, whose entrails are pecked out by their fellow birds. The association is therefore asking supermarkets to stop selling these "code 2" eggs.
