You have permission to scold me for that pretty awful pun. But it was all for a good reason, you see, as it’s Easter time! Traditionally a time to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and dabble in all things egg-shaped, cute fluffy animals and chocolatey, here at PETA we have a special message for you.
While surrounded by Easter eggs this weekend, spare a thought for hens still languishing on battery farms until the 2012 ban comes into place. Even then, they will still be confined for their eggs and millions of chickens slaughtered every year for their flesh, so come on – let’s give our feathered friends our support and stop eating them and what comes out of their, ahem… bums.
On a lighter note, scoff one of the many vegan chocolate eggs that are floating around the UK at the moment, including Green & Blacks, Montezuma’s, Booja Booja and at ALotOfChocolate. If you can’t get one in time, there’s always next week, and the week after, and… Who needs an excuse to eat chocolate anyway?
