Chicken Exploitation - Forced Molting - 01

Chicken Exploitation - Forced Molting - 01
(Chicken Exploitation - Forced Molting - 01) As laying hens age, they begin to lay fewer eggs.  So, in order to increase their profits, the egg industry starves the hens for up to two weeks, causing the hens to molt.  The forced molting puts the hens in a survival mode, so that when they are fed again, they begin to lay more eggs.  Financial gain does not justify such evil practices.
