Check out these amazing billboards that went up right next to each other—I bet McDonald's wasn't too thrilled.


Don't you just love it? How many people do you think will reconsider eating an Egg McMuffin after seeing these billboards?

The thing is, there are so many reasons to stop eating eggs. Here are just a few:

On egg factory farms, hens are kept in "battery cages", which are roughly 18 by 20 inches and hold five to 11 hens for their entire lives.

Male chicks are considered worthless to the egg industry, so every year millions are tossed into trash bags to suffocate or are thrown into high-speed grinders while they are still alive.

After two years, an egg-laying hen is considered "spent"—and guess what happens to her? Yup, she's shipped to slaughter—to be used for things like chicken noodle soup.

There are so many great egg alternatives! You can use applesauce, tofu, or bananas instead of eggs when you bake—tastier and cholesterol-free! And tofu scramble or tofu quiche? Delish!

What do you think of the juxtaposing billboards? Do you think it will make pro-lifers reconsider eating eggs?

That's quite clever.



In the UK, the Battery Hen Welfare Trust rescue battery egg-laying hens and give them to people as pets to look after. Mine live in my back garden and they're absolutely adorable, they're really nice pets.

Hahaha, that's really great.


And Batgirl Vic, that sounds like what my fiance did - he went to a horrible pig farm and bought a really sick pig and he and I nursed her back to health. She's the sweetest thing.

Unfortunately, people are too ignorant to understand that an egg is the same as an embryo. If not, a menstrual chicken's period. The same ignorance is what causes people to dye eggs on Easte. Because, you know, Easter is the celebration of life. The children will never make the connection that in reality, those peeps are supposed to be coming out of the multicolored shells. They also won't make the connection that rabbits are mammals and shouldn't have eggs in the first place.

Total fail! Unfortunately, the majority of people that support the upper billboard would still not consider chicken egg to have a life in it and a right to live... what hypocrites!
