Closing and Extension

Closing
Ask students to summarize what they have learned.

Extension Activities
Ask students to research egg farms online. The following links are good places to start:

• “Ban Battery Cages” shows Compassionate Action for Animals’ investigations at Michael Foods egg farm, which produces eggs for Crystal Farms.
• EggCruelty.com shows Mercy for Animals’ findings from investigations that were conducted at the two largest egg factory farms in Ohio, Buckeye egg farm and Daylay egg farm.
• ISECruelty.com provides Compassion Over Killing’s documentation of an investigation at the Maryland-based, “humane care certified” ISE egg farm.
• EggScam.com explains what the “humane care certified” logo on egg cartons actually means and argues that the logo is nothing more than a public relations ploy used to mislead the public.
• “Free-Range Facts” includes information on free-range egg farming.
