We Went Inside India's Egg City, with Hidden Camera

The video presents a hidden‑camera investigation of India's egg industry, revealing the systematic cruelty inflicted on chickens. Male chicks are immediately killed by grinding or gassing. Female layer hens are confined to cages where they are forced to lay up to 500 eggs, living their entire lives in cramped conditions. After about two years, when their egg‑laying capacity declines, the hens are sent to slaughterhouses. Although the eggs are unfertilized and contain no developing embryo—leading many to consider them vegetarian—the narrator emphasizes that each egg represents a life that is exploited and ultimately discarded. The piece critiques the ethical justification of consuming such eggs and highlights the hidden suffering behind a seemingly innocuous food product.
