BATTERY HENS. Yes Or No?

What do you think about hens being kept in cages? Do you think they should grow up in cages? Or just live inside but but allowed to walk around a little bit?

Or do you think they should be raised outside and treated nicely? Here is some information:

This is what happens to them and they live through in their day to day life:

Life In The Cages:

The Battery Hen spends all her laying life in a cage crammed in with three and up to seven other birds. She stands for life on a space smaller than this leaflet. Her only exit is to the slaughterhouse.
Cages are kept in huge artificially lit sheds. The hen stands on thin sloping wire - her feet and legs crippled. She cannot perch, preen, scratch in the dirt, dust-bathe, spread her wings, or escape to a quiet place to lay an egg - all activities known to be extremely important to the behavioural needs of a hen.

Stressed and crowded hens peck at each other. Therefore farmers cut off a third of the chicken's beak with a hot wire guillotine. This causes severe pain at the time and the chicken may die of shock. Also the nerves in the beak stump are still active and the hen suffers pain for months, perhaps years afterwards. Many have great difficulty eating for the rest of their lives.

How people are trying to stop this:

SAFE's campaign against battery cages spanning over 20 years is paying off, rejoices SAFE campaign director Hans Kriek. "SAFE has ensured a greater nationwide awareness of the cruelty behind producing battery eggs. It has resulted in dramatic consumer boycotts of caged eggs. It has prompted a demand for alternative systems that offer better welfare conditions for the birds and most recently, industry leaders have bowed to SAFE's pressure. We are achieving success!"

And here are some images of battery hens:

Sorry, it's not very clear!
