“The United Egg Producers is not tackling the
systematic abuses within the industry that severely compromise the welfare
of individual birds. … [The UEP
guidelines] seem designed more to mollify consumers than to address the
extreme animal welfare abuses that have become the norm in this industry.”(1)
—The Humane Society of the United
States

Over Killing investigators in May 2004 at an "Animal Care Certified"
