Cal-Maine's Cruelty Leads to Lawsuit

In an effort to stop the horrific abuses to birds and the human health risks posed by Cal-Maine Foods, Inc.—the nation’s largest egg supplier—at its chicken-raising and egg production facility in Waelder, Texas, concerned residents of Travis County and Gonzales County, Texas, represented by the Animal Legal Defense Fund, are filing a lawsuit in Travis County District Court today.

Cal-Maine came under an international spotlight last month when an undercover investigation there revealed harrowing, clearly illegal conditions for chickens and a veritable breeding ground for human health threats.
