Last year, I visited an egg farm in Chino, California. This is what I saw:
Far from depicting the idyllic setting the egg industry wants you to picture when you open a carton of eggs, these photos tell the true story of egg-laying hens in Chino and on many factory farms in other towns across the country.
These hens were crammed four or five to a cage—unable to sit comfortably or even spread their wings—and were forced to live outside. The buildup of feces shows that the owner of this farm spent little time keeping the conditions sanitary.
When their frail bodies have been put through so much stress and they can no longer produce eggs, they are slaughtered and their flesh is used for chicken stock and soups. 
The good news? YOU can speak up for these animals three times a day—every day—by choosing to leave eggs off your plate! Check out our vegan baking cheat sheet as well as our recipes for some delicious and cruelty-free meals!

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
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.
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 love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
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 am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)
