Urge BOCA to Stop Using Eggs!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

I hope you had a fabulous weekend! I'm emailing to ask that you please

take a few minutes to Urge BOCA to Stop Using Eggs!

<http://boca-egg-facts.com/>

 

Compassion Over Killing <http://www.cok.net/> is teaming up with Mercy

For Animals <http://www.mercyforanimals.org/> and the Animal Protection

& Rescue League <http://aprl.org/> as well as compassionate people

everywhere to ask *BOCA*® to stop using eggs in its product line.

 

*BOCA*® was first approached in January 2008 about its use of eggs,

which come from hens confined inside barren wire battery cages

<http://boca-egg-facts.com/egg-industry>. Battery-caged hens are

typically provided with a meager 67 square inches of floor space per

bird on which to spend their lives---that's less than the size of a

sheet of notebook paper. These birds are so intensively confined,

they're unable to spread their wings, dust-bathe, nest or even walk.

 

*BOCA*® has long been a leader in supplying delicious vegetarian foods

to a growing market. Unfortunately, while its competitors Morningstar

Farms, <http://www.cok.net/camp/morningstar-farms/>Lightlife Foods

<http://www.cok.net/feat/lightlife/>, Tofurky <http://www.tofurky.com/>,

Gardenburger <http://www.gardenburger.com/>, and Garden Protein

<http://www.gardenprotein.com/> have either reduced the amount of eggs

they use or simply don't use any eggs at all, *BOCA*® hasn't yet moved

on this important issue of animal cruelty.

Thank you for speaking up for egg-laying hens!
