Yo, vegetarians! New footage from yet another idyllic egg factory! »
From Paul Shapiro:
I’m about to conduct a press conference in Washington, D.C., to release shocking new footage of HSUS’s latest undercover investigation at a battery cage egg factory.
The New York Times covers our investigation today in a powerful column by Nicholas Kristof, “Is an Egg for Breakfast Worth This?” [Ed.: Kristof, have all our babies.]
This investigation of course underscores the need to pass HR 3798, federal legislation that would reduce the suffering of hundreds of millions of animals in the egg industry.
GO ON, HSUS! GO ON, KRISTOF! FUCK OFF, EGG INDUSTRY!
[Can’t see the video? Watch it on Vegansaurus! And then make all your egg-eating friends enjoy it, too!]

Harvest Home Sanctuary has a great blog post up about Tracy, an ex-battery hen. It’s touching in the crying into your keyboard type way. But also inspirational and makes you want to get really upset about shit and change things. I dunno…read it. While you’re at it, Nicholas “is that a toupé?” Kristof has a great piece up in the New York Times about abolishing battery cages. The mainstream heat behind this is building; I hope the momentum keeps up. I want a rallying cry behind the abolition of battery cages that rivals, “DONNA! MARTIN! GRADUATES!” (Happy 90210 Day, btw!). Any ideas???

» “You can vote to change the system,” it declares, “three times a day.”
That’s Nicholas Kristof on Food, Inc.
It’s kind of amazing that just a few years ago the New York Times all but refused to print anything about big animal agribusiness. Pretty exciting.
Also, developing the TINIEST of crushes on Kristof. What? He’s kinda cute! Ask your mom!
