Earlier quoted context omitted.
I mean, if you want cruelty free eggs you can just raise chickens. That’s something you can start working on now to meet 100% of your egg needs.
> I mean, if you want cruelty free eggs you can just raise chickens. Raising hens still means that someone somewhere is hatching eggs and throwing out the rooster chicks, probably grinding them into chicken meal.
The usual definition of "cruelty free" does not necessarily mean nothing is killed. Many consider humane methods of killing (culling) to be cruelty free.
