Good News and Bad News for Chickens

For some reason chicken houses keep catching on fire.  The latest one that I've found out about incinerated 83,000 of the animals in Versailles, Ohio.  (Source: http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2011/05/17/ohio-barn-fire-kills-83000-chickens.html?sid=101)

The good news is that in addition to Hellmann's mayo going cage free soon, McDonald's has decided to purchase 1 million cage-free eggs per month.  (Source: http://vegan.com/blog/2011/05/19/mcdonalds-commits-to-one-million-cage-free-eggs-per-month)

According to prominent vegan activist Erik Marcus, "Cage-free isn’t cruelty free, but if you’ve ever seen a battery cage you know this is a huge deal."
