# birds overcrowded in wire cages so small, they cannot spread their wings,
# hens left to suffer from untreated illnesses or injuries,
# birds with their wings, legs, or feet entangled in the wires of cages, unable to access food or water,
# injured or dying birds removed from their cages and left in the aisles without access to food or water,
# birds impaled on the wires of the cages with many found already dead as a result of the painful immobilization, and
# hens living in cages amongst decomposing bodies of other birds.
