Shocking Hidden Camera Investigation Exposes Canada's Rotten Egg Industry
A new Mercy For Animals Canada exposé reveals systemic violence and cruelty to chickens at a Burnbrae Farms egg supplier—McDonald's Canada's exclusive egg provider—in Morinville, Alberta. The disturbing undercover footage shows unconscionable abuses, including the following:
- Thousands of egg-laying hens crammed inside tiny wire battery cages, each hen with less space than a single sheet of notebook paper to live her entire miserable life, unable to spread her wings, walk or engage in other natural behaviours
-Workers smashing the heads of chicks and then throwing them still alive and conscious into plastic garbage bags to slowly suffocate
-Chickens trapped in cage wire, mangled by factory machinery, and left to suffer from open wounds and torn beaks without proper veterinary care
-Dead hens left in cages with live hens still laying eggs for human consumption
