Here are some facts about animal cruelty in America. 4 to 5 million animals die in shelters every year. Millions of day-old male chicks are killed in a high capacity macerator because they are worthless to the egg industry.In the United States alone, 1.13 million animals are used in testing and research every year. Cal-Maine crams multiple birds into one cage, giving each hen only 67 square inches of cage space—less than a sheet of paper on which to live for more than a year.
