After launching an “undercover investigation” of the monastery’s henhouses and following it with almost a year of complaints and publicity stunts, Peaple for the Ethical Treatment of Aninmals (PETA) has succeeded in forcing Mepkin Abbey to shut down its egg operation.
PETA’s complaint? That the monks treat the chickens cruelly. How? In short, by keeping them in cages and preventing them from pecking each other to death.
In other words, by complying with every animal welfare standard established by the United Egg Producers.
Yet with its trademark overheated rhetoric, PETA calls Mepkin Abbey “hell on earth for chickens,” a place where the birds suffer “nothing less than torture.”

you really have to pity some of the PETA members. i mean think about your lifes focus being chickens and believing that they are tortured. it probably keeps them up at night.
