I would strongly disagree that any commercial operation - regardless of its labeling - could be called cruelty free. That leaves neighbors with backyard hens, which will never be enough cover any significant portion of egg consumption.
- danielheath 6y agoI mean, if you want cruelty free eggs you can just raise chickens. That’s something you can start working on now to meet 100% of your egg needs.
- chacha2 6y agoUnless you're raising the hens as well it can still be cruel.
- dylan604 6y agoSometimes, that hen turns out to be a rooster. Fertilized eggs are not as desirable, and that damn rooster crows too often
- dylan604 6y agoNot sure if the other tenants in my downtown condo high rise will appreciate that. I'll probably get a visit from the Supe
- thinkling 6y ago> I mean, if you want cruelty free eggs you can just raise chickens. Raising hens still means that someone somewhere is hatching eggs and throwing out the rooster chicks, probably grinding them into chicken meal.
- jjeaff 6y agoThe usual definition of "cruelty free" does not necessarily mean nothing is killed. Many consider humane methods of killing (culling) to be cruelty free.
- Falling3 6y agoI don't. And "just raise your own" is obviously not a viable option for the overwhelming majority of people.
- jjeaff 6y agoBut we aren't talking about covering a significant portion of egg consumption. Only the portion of egg consumption from people who don't want cruelty free eggs.
