“A crowbar to the door and we were in. Our torches illuminated rows of caged hens cramped together. It stunk, there were no windows, these birds never get to see the sunlight. The whole barn was full of dust, shit and cobwebs, the air felt thick. This is the reality behind so many inconspicuous boxes of eggs.
We didn’t waste time and quickly opened a row of cages, filled our carriers and left. The chickens themselves took no time adjusting to their new home, walking on the ground instead of wire mesh, being able to move around and perch and spread their wings. They are filled with curiosity and can’t get enough snacks. We’ve been pumping them full of vitamins and minerals as everyone was deficient. This industry sees their bodies as disposable and the birds pay a high price for constantly laying eggs.
We think of all those we left behind and we promise to come back. We dedicate this action to Marius Mason and all long term anarchist prisoners. Solidarity knows no bounds. Until every cage is empty.”
