NZ Dairy Cruelty
When people think of dairy, they think of cows living happy lives out in grassy fields, enjoying life, just waiting to give their milk to us...
www.nzdairy.webs.com

NZ Egg Cruelty
Most people agree that it is wrong to inflict pain or suffering on animals for no good reason. Most people agree that hens kept in battery cages are suffering. But what about free range? Barn laid? Organic? You would assume that under these systems the hens live happy lives out in open fields, lives free of suffering, and they only die naturally from old age...
