The images in the following program are very sensitive and may be as disturbing to viewers as they were to us. However, we have to show the truth about animal cruelty.

HOST: Benevolent viewers, today on Stop Animal Cruelty we bring you excerpts from the award-winning documentary Fowl Play, directed by Adam Durand and produced by Mercy for Animals, a US-based non-profit animal advocacy organization. The film, which will be presented in three parts, exposes the utterly inhumane treatment of hens by the egg industry.

In April ２００９, Fowl Play won the Best Documentary Short category at the Fallbrook Film Festival in California, USA and deservedly so. The film leaves a deep impression on all viewers as it shows how merciless farming practices mean a profoundly nightmarish existence for chickens.
