Have you ever wondered how an egg can cost only a few cents? Millions of Minnesota hens spend their entire lives crammed in battery cages. The battery cages are placed in huge arrays where conveyer belts deliver feed and carry eggs away. After intensive egg laying the hens are considered "spent." They are then packed into trucks and shipped to a slaughterhouse. This is the first exposure to sun and outside temperatures in many of their lives.

Turkeys are conveyered out of a growing building and manually loaded into a truck.
