Non-Vegan Oprah Brought Attention to Animal Conditions

I was watching Oprah today. It was a show on "How we treat animals we eat." I don't eat animals, and I know Oprah tried to go vegan for a short period of time, and I reacted negatively when she failed...but this show has redeemed her somewhat in that area because she showed everyone how animals are treated. It exposed the audience to how horrible the conditions are, how the animals live their lives and how it gets to dinner plates everywhere.

She is not advocating people to become Vegans or Vegetarians, but thats OK with me, because this show brought awareness to people to the torture and abuse innocent animals face so that people can eat. I accept that not everyone will become vegetarian or vegan, but at least make an effort to let the innocent animals lead a better existence.

Saving a few bucks here and there is important to all of us especially with the economy today, but the few dollars we save make the shortened lives of these poor animals more cruel and unbearable than any torture we can imagine. An example being how hens that bear eggs for human consumption are only allotted a space that is comparable to a sheet of 8x11 paper to spend their entire time. No room to expand their wings, no room to turn around, no room to relax since they're sitting on wire crates. What makes it worse, the hens are in cages with 5-6 other hens, and they are stacked 5 crates high, so the hens under these crates get covered with feces from the hens above them.

Here is a video from mercyforanimals.org that will help us remind us what your scrambled eggs, eggs in your cake or cookies and any other egg containing product is doing to innocent hens.
