psst, since you shared those videos I thought I’d share a cool resource. There’s a website called kinderworld.org that has collections of videos on the egg industry, dairy industry, and meat industry. I hope you find this useful :)
In my country, supermarkets aren’t allowed to sell eggs from caged hens. Only eggs from hens raised outdoors. There are four categories of eggs marked with numbers:
0: eggs from caged hens, not sold anywhere legally.
1: eggs from uncaged hens but raised indoors, very difficult to find.
2: eggs from uncaged hens and raised outdoors, easy to find.
3: eggs from uncaged hens, raised outdoors and feed with natural food, without pesticides and shit, easy to find.
By the way, US is neither the center of the world nor the only country in the world. Sorry to say that, but I think it’s necessary to say it.

We have similar categories, however our laws leave a lot to be desired. Apparently a huge indoor shed with a tiny door to a small outdoor area qualifies for this category because in theory, the hens could take a look outside.
I hope, your regulations are better worded than ours.
Yes, animal cruelty is a real problem. But I’d say the message then is “choose responsibly the source of your milk and eggs”, not necesarilly jump-full-vegan

They still kill all their male chicks right after birth, the hen after ~18 months (lifespan up to 10 Years)

The cruel practices are standard all over the world, not just the US.
Exploiting animals for profit is never gonna be humane.
