Workers at one of the largest egg producers in Australia, Bridgewater Poultry, have been caught kicking, throwing and abusing hens by animal rights activists who secretly recorded and leaked the videos.
Bridgewater Poultry sells eggs under multiple labels including Loddon Valley Eggs, Victorian Fresh Eggs and Country Fresh Eggs and make up about ten percent of the national egg market.
Rosko Osbourne from Animal Liberation New South Wales who supplied the video claimed it represented a broader problem in the egg industry.
