Family battle over egg ethics detailed in article

The videos shown on KOAM and Neosho Forums of Moark chickens being placed in dumpsters while they are obviously still alive, has once again raised all kinds of questions about the humane treatment of chickens.
The Longmont Daily Times in Call, Colo., featured an article today about a Neosho native, Cyd Szymanski, who is the CEO of Denver-based Nest Fresh Eggs, which come from chickens that are not kept in cages.
Moark is Nest Fresh Eggs' biggest competitor and is run by members of Ms. Szymanski's family, according to the article, which points out that Moark also features a cage-free brand, Egg-Land's Best. The difference, obviously, is cost. The caged chickens' eggs go for 99 cents a dozen, the article said, while the cage-free eggs from both companies cost about $3.49 a dozen.
The family Christmas dinners are interesting, Ms. Szymanski said.

The chickens have feelings as well.
Maybe they do not want to be eaten in the first place. They want to eat us. They just can't speak. We should speak for them, don't you agree?

MOARK also has the logo "ACC" on the cartons of eggs it packs. The ACC stands for "Animal Care Certified". What a joke. People are being lied to and misled. Blatant false advertising. "ACC" should stand for "Animal Cruelty Certified" instead. Look at the carton next time you buy. You buy eggs packed by Moark and you support the cruel and inhumane activity.
