Besides the fact that each egg eaten represents 34 hours of suffering for chickens (who, as it turns out, score higher than dogs and cats on cognitive tests), when you eat an egg, you’re putting a bird’s period directly into your mouth. Tasty, huh? If you’re going to eat an omlette, you might as well suck on a used tampon. Whenever I talk to someone about why I’m vegan, the cruelty behind egg production is always the first thing I tell them about. Personally, I think anyone who cares about animals should abstain from eating eggs, whether they have taken the leap and gone veg(etari)an or not. We want all of you to help us spread the truth about eggs in your town, so we came up with this Street Team mission involving some downloadable leaflets and some mild mischief.
Have you heard the one about penguins? Yep, we’re giving away March of the Penguins DVDs. Holy smokes is right! In order to enter, you just have to forward our new “Birds of a Feather” flash animation extravaganza to your friends.
You kids have design skills right? Should I have said 5x1llz? Perhaps. Either way, we want those of you who use software other than Microsoft Paint to design some Web banners and buddy icons for us that incorporate the cruelty-free logo below and a peta2.com logo.

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.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!

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 :)
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.

What about the free-range eggs? Do they represent cruelty as well?
