Now even the eggs of broiler chickens are Haraam?

Question

Now even the eggs of broiler chickens are Haraam?

Answer

The products of brutality produced by a system which is haraam from beginning to end cannot be halaal. It is Waajib to abstain from consuming eggs that are not free range. All eggs which are not described 'free range' are the products of the brutality of the cruel system. Non-Muslim stores such as Woolworths and Pick 'n Pay have banned all such eggs which are acquired from a broiler chicken industry which brutally kills hundreds of thousands of day old male chicks every week. The chicks are crushed to death, suffocated to death, and starved to death in pits wherein they are dumped alive to die horrendously a slow death. It has been recently reported that these chicks suffer up to five days in the pits where they are dumped alive by the ten-thousand. Can you, a man of Imaan devour such eggs of brutality? Does your Imaan allow you to eat these eggs of brutality? Must the Yahood and Nasaara teach us the lesson of mercy which Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) has made Waajib on us? Besides the brutality, generally a harmful chemical substance is added to the feed of these broiler hens for the purpose of the egg-yolk to appear yellow. This substance is very harmful for the eyes.
