Largest California farm animal rescue: Inside A&L Egg Farm

Between February 23 and 24, 2012, Animal Place and Harvest Home Animal Sanctuary co-ordinated the largest farm animal rescue in California history. More than 4,400 hens were pulled from A&L Poultry in Turlock, California after the owner left the hens without food for more than two weeks.

More than 3,200 of those hens arrived to Animal Place’s two sanctuaries in Grass Valley and Vacaville. This video shows the reality of egg farms across the country.

If you would like to help these hens, visit www.animalplace.org or simply reduce or eliminate eggs from your diet.
