Hi there,

I’m Angel, Senior Video Editor at The Humane League. I don’t usually send emails (I usually prefer to stay behind the scenes), but I felt compelled to reach out today.

For folks who don’t want to read on, I’ll get right to the point—a generous donor is tripling all donations after seeing the results of this investigation. If you’re in a place to give, please know that your money will be used in the most effective way we’ve possibly found to help these suffering animals. Our team is focused on eliminating this cruelty from the face of the earth.

There was a hen who had escaped her cage and was wandering around in a daze, barely any feathers on her body.

There was a decapitated hen, tossed aside like trash, lying next to a Coca-Cola bottle and a mound of manure.

There was a hen looking out from her cage, wild-eyed, crawling with bugs.

There was a hen forced to stand on one foot, her other foot entirely mangled by bloody open lesions from the wire flooring.

We talk a lot about how “filthy” these facilities are. Looking at this footage, that word hit me in a new way. Cracked eggs leaking all over the floor. Piles of dead animals. Hens covered in blood—and eggs smeared with it.

I know exactly how hard it is to face this stuff. You’re here because you’re a compassionate person, and thinking about suffering is painful. Earlier in my life, my coping strategy was willful ignorance—I don’t want to know.

As someone who’s seen the worst of the worst, let me tell you something. You think seeing this stuff will leave you heartbroken and hopeless. But it’s exactly the opposite.

You feel rage. You feel heartbreak. And in your very bones, you feel utterly determined to end this cruelty. Because we can.

Thanks to these courageous investigators, I am more determined than I’ve ever been to end the atrocities farmed animals endure at the hands of humans. I hope you are too.

For the animals,

P.S. Your $25 becomes $75, your $50 becomes $150, and your $100 becomes $300 to help end this suffering. Will you consider making a gift to fight this cruelty?
