SF Chronicle Magazine spotlights EBAA volunteer

On Sunday, October 15th, SF Chronicle reporter, Sam Whiting
wrote: "In the world of animal advocacy, all species need a
champion and that is why Christine Morrissey is fighting for the
rights of farm chickens. Morrissey, 25, lives in an apartment
next to the MacArthur Freeway in Oakland, but dreams of Fresno,
and a country life full of free-at-last range chickens."

Take a stand against misleading egg labels

Animal welfare claims on egg cartons are currently unregulated in
the United States, enabling egg producers to mislead consumers
with exaggerated and false claims. Without any federal oversight,
claims on egg cartons can—and commonly do—misrepresent to
consumers how those eggs were produced. A new petition, co-filed
by Compassion Over Killing and Penn Law Animal Law Project, urges
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to establish a uniform,
market-wide regulation mandating the labeling of egg production
methods on egg cartons (i.e. “eggs from caged hens”) to protect
consumers from false and misleading advertising.

It’s important that the FDA hear from you:
