CIK Sues Poultry Producer
The animal advocacy group, Compassion Over Killing (COK)
is suing the United Egg Producers trade group and ISE America, a company
that operates a New Jersey egg farm, for the use of the words 'Animal
Care Certified' in a logo on egg cartons, which misleads consumers about
the cruel and abusive conditions that poultry suffer. United Egg
Producers had agreed to replace it with the words 'United Egg Producers
Certified' by April 2006, although the change has not happened yet. In
their defense, ISE America Vice President Greg Clanton said they removed
the "Animal Care Certified" logo from its cartons in early 2006 and that
"It looks like perhaps an old original print may have been reproduced at
some time and was not detected."

It's not unusual for the factory farming industry to mislead its
costumers in order to hide the inherent cruelty of the business. That is
why it is imperative that the truth behind industrial agriculture is
revealed and that consumers do some research on their own in order not
to fall pray of their tactics.
