In partnership with undercover activists in 37 countries, we’re releasing the most comprehensive investigation into caged egg facilities ever documented. 

It’s devastating.

Dan here.

I’ve seen it all. I have been fighting for farmed animals all my life, and I think about their suffering every single day. And still, this footage made my stomach turn and brought tears to my eyes.

Investigators found a live bird, trapped and struggling in manure. They filmed hens clambering over rotting carcasses. They saw animals crawling with fleas. And what breaks my heart the most is looking into these poor hens’ eyes. They hold a depth of despair, fear, and helplessness that no living being should ever have to experience.

Here is what keeps me going, day in and day out. We can help them.

We are dismantling this utterly broken system. We are fighting for these animals, and we are winning. We have already protected hundreds of millions of hens—just like the poor souls shown in this footage—from the unconscionable agony of life in a cage. Because this fight is about more than freedom from extreme cruelty. This fight is about every living being’s right to the most basic dignity.

Believe me—I know how difficult it is to bear witness to this misery.

But let’s face it. Let’s do something about it.

Let’s get to work.

For the animals,

Dan Shannon
CEO

P.S. I want to share a note of gratitude to Nikki Glaser, who narrated this investigation video—along with 100+ celebrities who have signed onto an open letter calling on food corporations to do better.

P.P.S. I also wanted to share a quote from Ezra Klein, which rings even more true in light of this harrowing footage: “How we treat farm animals today will be seen, I believe, as a defining moral failing of our age.”

Humanity can do better than this. And we will do better. Thanks to you.
