The Brave the Cage challenge at the University of California Berkeley was an amazing success! Many college students felt first hand what life is like for 95% of hens on egg farms. We passed out pro-veg lit, encouraging kinder food choices. Eager students were ready totake the egg-free challenge! This was a great day to educate the public about the cruelties of the egg industry.
