Welcome to WegmansCruelty.com |
Wegmans still supports battery cage eggs Wegmans still sells eggs from its former egg facility, where hens are crowded into tiny, barren cages, allowing each hen less than half a square foot of space. These animals are forced to live in their own waste and on top of the corpses of their cage-mates. A team of investigators from Compassionate Consumers found hens at Wegmans Egg Farm with severe infections and suffering from extreme dehydration. Some hens were trapped in the mesh of their cages, and others were drowning in liquid manure.
The cruel battery cage system used to produce Wegmans brand eggs has been banned in the European Union, and many food service companies, universities, and national grocery chains such as Whole Foods and Wild Oats have pledged to no longer sell or use battery cage eggs. Please seek out alternatives to battery cage eggs, and ask Wegmans to work with The Humane Society of the United States to improve these inhumane conditions.

Pittsford Demonstration on Sunday, April 29 |
|
 New York activists! It's time to come out of hibernation and show your solidarity with animal advocates across the country who continue to urge Wegmans Food Markets to abandon its egregiously cruel practice of confining hens to battery cages!
At the Wegmans egg farm in Wolcott, NY, close to a quarter of a million hens are living their miserable lives in cramped battery cages, in which they are denied their natural instincts. Their feet never touch solid ground and they cannot spread their wings fully.
Please join us on Sunday, April 29 to encourage Wegmans to seek more humane alternatives for its egg farm! It's time to put the pressure back on the company!
When: Sunday, April 29
Time: 1:30pm - 2:45pm
Where: Wegmans Pittsford, 3195 Monroe Avenue, Rochester, NY
All signs and leaflets will be provided.
