FAR FROM SUNNY: BIRD BROS EXPOSED!
by Animal Justice Project
Behind the walls of #SunnyFarm, an ‘enriched’ colony cage egg farm run by East Anglia's leading egg producer, #BirdBros, lies a much darker truth.
Our latest undercover investigation, which broke last night in the #DailyMail, has uncovered despair, death and decay in the depths of this 'megafarm', which supplies major UK supermarket, #Lidl.

Despite their claims that "the happier the birds, the tastier the eggs", our investigation has revealed misery, sickness and abuse at the heart of this British Lion-assured hellhole.*
*After viewing our investigation video and a subsequent audit, the British Egg Industry Council (BEIC) has, at this time, revoked Sunny Farm's British Lion stamp.

“These chickens were housed within barren environments which clearly compromised their welfare, causing suffering. The severe crowding and barren caged environment left these birds very little room to move, or to exercise highly-motivated natural behaviours, such as foraging, exploring and dust-bathing. Due to cage crowding, in one case another hen was observed walking over the body of one of these living, collapsed hens.

None of these instances indicate sufficient levels of inspection, nor appropriate veterinary care.”

A 'LIFE WORTH LIVING'?
Their eggs will end up on the shelves of #Lidl, which claims to follow the ‘Five Freedoms of #AnimalWelfare’ to support a so-called ‘life worth living’.
Join us in demanding that Lidl drops #BirdBros as a supplier immediately in light of these horrific findings.
