Unbelievable abuse...

Thanks go out to 4th Time for bringing this to my attention.

Hidden camera video recorded in early 2008 at Gemperle Enterprises in Merced County, California, a supplier to NuCal Foods Inc. - the largest distributor of shell eggs in the Western US - reveals:

• Rotting carcasses in cages with live hens still laying eggs for human consumption.
• Birds suffering from untreated broken bones, open wounds, infections and prolapses.
• Workers brutally killing sick hens by grabbing their heads and swinging their bodies around to break their necks, or through neck-twisting, often resulting in a prolonged, torturous death.
• Workers roughly and forcefully handling birds, resulting in injuries, such as broken bones and blunt trauma.
• Hens covered in excrement, confined five to seven per cage the size of a file drawer, unable to stretch their wings, move freely or exercise.
• Crippled hens left to languish in cage aisles without access to food, water, or veterinary care.
