BOCA Drops Eggs - Time to Celebrate!

A campaign urging BOCA® to stop using eggs in its product line was recently launched by Compassion Over Killing, Mercy For Animals, and the Animal Protection & Rescue League, and supported by FARM (Farm Animal Rights Movement) and Meatout.

SUCCESS! A company spokesperson emailed COK yesterday:

…I am pleased to let you know the BOCA brand will be eliminating eggs in all of its products by the end of this year. We anticipate all BOCA products will be egg free in 2010.

Please contact the company to thank them for making this compassionate decision! Thank you to BOCA, and to all of you who joined in our campaign and helped bring about this victory for animals!

 

Approximately 95% of eggs produced in the U.S. come from hens confined inside barren wire battery cages so restrictive, the birds can barely even move, let alone engage in many of their most natural behaviors including spreading their wings, perching, or walking. Battery-caged hens are typically provided with a meager 67 square inches of space in which to live—that's less floor space than the size of one sheet of notebook paper.
