Summary: KAREN DAVIS, PhD, founder of United Poultry Concerns - upc-online.org, expresses her outrage over an egg industry written bill, inexplicably supported by the Humane $ociety of the United $tates, and the torturous and lethal implications for chickens dictated by HR 3798, The Egg Products Inspection Act. KAREN expresses concern that animal advocates are being persuaded and misled by the deception of terms "enriched colony cages", "perches", "nests", and she explodes the myth of such "enrichments" and shatters the contention of misled animal advocates that with this bill, hens could "engage in natural behaviors". DR DAVIS and BOB also express shock over a deceptively misleading print ad, surprisingly published by H$U$ and a number of animal groups it has apparently coerced into supporting this legislation. Also this week, the HUMANE FARMING ASSOCIATION - www.hfa.org - offers details on how to sign its petition against this "rotten egg bill". HFA asks H$U$ to explain why it is supporting the overturn of Califoria Prop 2 and the will of the people's vote. KAREN questions this too, as she believed H$U$ promised a "cage-free" California starting in 2015. Now, battery cages will continue to be allowed. (Of course, GO VEGAN WITH BOB LINDEN does not support consumption of any eggs, recognizing that "cage-free" is horrible for chickens too, representing harsh confinement, mutilation, and murder for all.)
