1
00:00:02,625 --> 00:00:04,368
In 2008 California celebrated

2
00:00:04,368 --> 00:00:06,360
the passage of proposition 2,

3
00:00:06,859 --> 00:00:08,472
which promised a cage-free future

4
00:00:08,472 --> 00:00:10,091
for animals in farms.

5
00:00:11,905 --> 00:00:14,180
But prop 2's promise of a humane

6
00:00:14,180 --> 00:00:17,113
future for animals has been broken.

7
00:00:18,629 --> 00:00:21,037
DxE uncovered shocking animal abuse,

8
00:00:21,037 --> 00:00:23,434
filthy conditions and a complete failure

9
00:00:23,434 --> 00:00:25,227
by state authorities to protect

10
00:00:25,227 --> 00:00:27,258
defenseless animals from confinement

11
00:00:27,258 --> 00:00:28,382
and cruelty.

12
00:00:29,294 --> 00:00:31,538
JS West, which sells eggs at Safeway

13
00:00:31,538 --> 00:00:34,414
and Trader Joe's, was certified as humane.

14
00:00:34,959 --> 00:00:37,337
But DxE investigators at JS West

15
00:00:37,337 --> 00:00:39,332
found birds confined so tightly

16
00:00:39,332 --> 00:00:41,641
that they were piled on top of one another,

17
00:00:41,641 --> 00:00:44,195
covered with grotesque tumors,

18
00:00:44,195 --> 00:00:46,144
laying in their own filth,

19
00:00:46,144 --> 00:00:48,687
and diseased and dying throughout

20
00:00:48,687 --> 00:00:50,556
the farm, which in 2010 was part

21
00:00:50,556 --> 00:00:53,167
of a salmonella recall that sickened

22
00:00:53,167 --> 00:00:54,633
thousands of Americans.

23
00:00:56,054 --> 00:00:58,097
Documents uncovered by DxE

24
00:00:58,097 --> 00:01:00,016
show that California officials knew of

25
00:01:00,016 --> 00:01:02,823
Prop 2 violations by multiple egg suppliers

26
00:01:02,823 --> 00:01:04,493
yet there has not been a single

27
00:01:04,493 --> 00:01:06,988
enforcement action in Prop 2's history.

28
00:01:09,942 --> 00:01:12,909
Emma is a victim of this violent system.

29
00:01:13,394 --> 00:01:16,157
She was just a baby, sick and starving

30
00:01:16,157 --> 00:01:17,520
on the floor of a cage.

31
00:01:18,128 --> 00:01:20,318
She was weak, too weak to even stand.

32
00:01:20,725 --> 00:01:23,263
She was as good as dead.

33
00:01:25,106 --> 00:01:26,599
But then DxE found her.

34
00:01:27,776 --> 00:01:30,018
We rescued Emma from that cage.

35
00:01:31,884 --> 00:01:33,516
We fed her and gave her water.

36
00:01:35,168 --> 00:01:36,882
We cleaned up the diarrhea that she

37
00:01:36,882 --> 00:01:38,845
had been forced to sit in for days.

38
00:01:40,015 --> 00:01:41,776
We gave her medication to recover.

39
00:01:42,794 --> 00:01:45,324
We kept her warm and gave her shelter.

40
00:01:46,543 --> 00:01:49,441
We built a harness so she could try to stand.

41
00:01:50,544 --> 00:01:52,435
And then, all we could do was pray.

42
00:01:53,412 --> 00:01:55,159
And a miracle happened.

43
00:01:55,159 --> 00:01:56,326
Emma got better.

44
00:01:56,326 --> 00:01:59,583
She re-learned to walk and scratch and stand.

45
00:02:00,552 --> 00:02:03,873
She saw the bright blue sky for the first time in her life.

46
00:02:04,461 --> 00:02:07,021
She felt freedom and made friends.

47
00:02:08,143 --> 00:02:10,745
But so many others are suffering.

48
00:02:11,773 --> 00:02:14,499
To save them, we need to see the truth.

49
00:02:15,143 --> 00:02:18,263
That there is no humane way to use animals.

50
00:02:18,474 --> 00:02:20,477
Because the animals of this earth,

51
00:02:20,477 --> 00:02:22,199
they're not things.

52
00:02:22,898 --> 00:02:24,984
Emma is depending on us.

53
00:02:26,523 --> 00:02:28,590
She needs your help.

54
00:02:29,293 --> 00:02:31,444
And she can't wait any longer.

55
00:02:33,147 --> 00:02:36,596
The time is now for change.

56
00:02:37,850 --> 00:02:40,039
Join the global movement for animals.

57
00:02:40,740 --> 00:02:43,251
Help us challenge the humane lie.

58
00:02:44,525 --> 00:02:46,598
And fight for a world where every animal

59
00:02:46,598 --> 00:02:49,487
is safe, happy and free.
