New HSUS Undercover Investigation Shows Need for Federal Legislation

An HSUS undercover investigation conducted in February and March of 2012 revealed a range of severe problems, including inhumane treatment of animals, at a Manheim, Pa., egg factory owned by Kreider Farms.

In addition to keeping hens in deplorable conditions, Kreider Farms is one of the few egg producers in the U.S. which doesn’t support federal legislation aimed at improving conditions for America’s laying hens, and providing a stable and secure future for egg farmers.

Click here for the full HSUS article and learn how you can help HSUS ask legislators to support the Egg Products Inspection Act Amendments of 2012, which would phase in new requirements that would prevent these deplorable conditions from taking place.
