Peaceful Prairie is an animal sanctuary in the United States that a friend told me about. They take in animals who have escaped the factory farm system and put a lot of effort into educating the public about this system in general. I like them specifically because they're not an animal welfare group that thinks that there is an acceptable way to use animals.
On their website they have an educational piece called the Free Range Myth which you can find here:
www.peacefulprairie.org/freerange1.html
This page discusses:
The differences between free range and factory farm eggs
Why there is no such thing as humane eggs
A video of a hatchery
What happens to male chicks and chickens who can no longer produce
a video that shows free range chickens
I think this is a really important read for vegetarians or just anyone in general who thinks that there is an acceptable way to use animals and sell those products. It's a real eye opener into how advertising techniques can take our best intentions and turn them into selling us something we never wanted in the first place.
