The latest comic from 10% Wool pretty much sums up the whole “free range” myth.
P.S. Confused about “cage-free“? Let me clear it up. “Cage-free” means that chickens have access to sunlight and open space … get it? Access. This means most “cage-free” animals spend their lives in windowless sheds. When birds are given outdoor access, it’s usually for very short periods of time, and the outdoor area often just consists of a hole cut in the shed wall leading to a small, muddy enclosure. Freedom? Nope. Go vegan.

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I keep trying to explain to my mom that ‘free range’ is not good enough! She says i have no proof so i showed her this… now she says you have no proof and are a group of extremist hippies. How do I live here??? so if you could help with some sources, that would be great!

I totally agree with this, and I hate it how most brands put free range and humane on their packaging, when their practices are far from their statements.
It breaks my heart when i think of all of those poor animals and how the all this is actually legal.
It is disgraceful
And one of the reasons why i am venturing out and moving on from being a vegetarian to vegan.
thanks for posting this and making the situation aware for other animal lovers like me.
